On this page we feature some of the nearly two dozen photos we received. Thank you to all who submitted photos. This home on Princess Anne Dr. had an 80-foot pine tree crash through the roof. No one was home at the time. Photo by Karen Troughton An uprooted tree struck this home on Gray Gate in Georgetown. Photo by Andrew Hicks The backyard at 40 Gardiner Dr. where a large portion of a maple tree fell across Gary Roffel's deck damaging the cedar fence and patio fur- niture. It very narrowly missed the house, but did some roof damage to the house next door. Photo by Gary Roffel The foreboding sky as the storm approached Georgetown.
