The last couple of mornings on my way to work there were piles of broken branches piled up on the side of the road, often a block at a time.
Damage to my garden was much worse in the back then it was in the back. I have a couple of spruce trees in front of my house and they seem to keep the beds warmer. My gladiola in the front still looks like it is going to bloom. The ones in the back, not so much. I had several acidothera mixed in with my gladiolas and I think they have died, while the gladiolas may have survived. I'll give it a couple of days.
Even if things survived, they were often so flattened I doubt if they will recover this year.
