Rain Casualty

Ten days ago I posted this photo:



Here's how that crepe myrtle looks today:

Heavy rain added so much weight to the branches that the trunk split. Fortunately there is one small branch below the split, as there was nothing that could be done to save the top of the tree. That's been removed and is now in a vase inside so at least we can enjoy some of the flowers.

What a shame, it may grow into an interesting shape now.
