"MIGHTY MICROBURST"

Sunday evening brought a brief, but powerful storm called a 'microburst' to parts of West Andover and Lawrence. Several large trees were harmed, including an old red oak tree belonging to a customer of ours. In an interview with the Eagle Tribune she explained that "she was waiting for a determination from Peter Retelle of Retelle Tree Co. in Andover on whether the old oak could be saved." Unfortunately the structure of the tree was damaged beyond repair and it had to be taken down. You can read the full article, and learn more about microburst storms, here.
