A cul-de-sac in Santa Clara County, California, remains blocked by a fallen eucalyptus tree from Tuesday’s wind storm, causing frustration among residents who are without power and communication.
The massive tree knocked out power and blocked the entrance to the cul-de-sac in Saratoga, leaving families feeling trapped and at risk.
Although cleanup crews are just now getting started, the residents are skeptical about the timeline for power restoration and are calling for better communication and expectation setting from the authorities.
As of now, the crews are hoping to clear Allendale Avenue by tonight, but it remains to be seen how long it will take to restore power to the affected homes.
