Sandy blew in Monday and, fortunately, did not stay as long as predicted. Nor did she flood as much as she might have.

Kalmbach Park lost what some estimate to be about 50 pine trees that were blown over roots and all. Other trees and utility poles around the area snapped in half as a result of Sally's ferocity.
