So many of the trees that fell during the hurricane looked healthy on the outside, but were actually rotten to the core. Most trees that Houstonist has seen across lawns and streets, on top of houses, and stacked on curbs look exactly like this pine tree. Photo courtesy of Flickr user gwenturnerjuarez.
