On Wednesday July 10, Niles experienced a brief yet very heavy rainstorm. A big tree took out part of the fence in the Old Grounds section 4. Read about other damage in the city that night it in the Niles Daily Star.
It was a pretty big tree.
This is after Neal Mikels had a turn with chain saw on Friday. Click here to see all the photos.
Below for comparison are pictures of the rotten tree the previous March. It had to happen eventually!
