BURBANK: STORM DAMAGE TO CEMETERY 
23 
24. Is a view of the same. 
25. Is a view of the same. 
26. Shows a tree partially tipped over. No doubt this was weakened by cutting away 
the roots when the wall was built. Note the large root which was broken. 
27. Shows a tall Larch with a good root system, which tipped over with sufficient 
force to lift several markers. 
28. This seems to be a case where the curbing adjoining the tree had prevented 
normal rooting, allowing the tree to be tipped more easily than it should have 
been. 
29. Shows a case similar to some of the previous views, where the tree was weakened 
by chopping away roots to allow the curb to be set. 
30. Is similar, as is also 31. 
32. Shows a tree that uprooted, taking with it a piece of curbing that had been in 
place for probably fifty years. 
33. Shows a tall evergreen almost completely uprooted, whereas the one shown in 
the background is still apparently in good condition. 
34. Shows a row of Willows tipped over or splintered. 
35. Beginning with No. 35, we show a row of Maples about 6" in diameter that were 
upset along the entire length of the avenue on the north side, while those on the 
south side were uninjured. 
36. Shows a close-up of a tree on the same avenue. 
37. Another tree on the same avenue. 
38. This shows a row of trees on an adjoining avenue on the north side, of about the 
same diameter, every one of which was tipped. These were all straightened, 
however. 
39. This is another avenue in the same vicinity. 
40. Shows a part of a row of Larch trees about 14" in diameter completely uprooted. 
41. Some of the trees on the right hand or north side of this avenue were uprooted, 
while those on the other side were not affected, or very little. 
42. Four large trees were uprooted along this bank. It is easily seen what caused this. 
The roots seem to be very sparse and undersized. 
43. This large tree was tipped over and rested on the roof of a mausoleum. It was set 
back in place and guyed. 
44. Shows a well rooted tree which failed. 
45. Shows one of the street shade trees that went over, taking some of the wires down 
with it, but saved from going completely over by their support. 
46. Along this rock garden about 10 Arborvitaes were blown over or broken off. 
Nearly every one of them was diseased or in some way weakened. 
47. This tree was poorly rooted. Evidently the granolithic walk and the foundation 
under it interfered with making a proper root system. 
48. The same is true of No. 48. 
49. These evergreens were completely uprooted. 
50. This Austrian Pine was broken off twenty feet above the ground. 
51. Same. 
52. Show the first steps in the process of cleaning-up.
