SANTA BARBARA, California — Severe weather has caused a wave of downed trees in the Santa Barbara area.
Superintendent Nathan Slack of the city’s Urban Forestry said dozens of downed trees have been reported since the beginning of the year.
Heavy rains and strong winds have cut down several species of trees in Santa Barbara this year.
Some of them are coastal oak, Monterey cypress and eucalyptus trees.
Douglas Cicilio Tree Services’ Doug Cicileo said recent heavy rains have caused the soil to become saturated.
And Tuesday’s high winds ultimately result in downed trees across the city.
Crews are still busy clearing debris near Pescadero Drive on the second day.
They are also working on fallen trees in other areas of the city.
