“General Sherman” – World’s Largest Tree – Sequoia National Park
WITH ADVERSITY COMES OPPORTUNITIES!!
Northwest Arkansas’ massive ice storm of January 2009 created untold havoc on the everyday life of all
who lived in its path.
Unprecedented power outages, automobile accidents, and structural damage to
homes and businesses that coincided with an already ominous economic time made the old “Murphy’s
Law” metaphor a reality that imposed itself as a fact of life.
The green culture of the region awoke in a
state of shock to see 150-year old trees damaged beyond resuscitation, and behemoth piles of limbs and
debris that lined the streets, having only small openings at driveways.
This created hardships for most
everyone in some form or fashion, and served as living proof that nature has its own way of doing things.
