Popular iconic California icon, the 'Drive Through Redwood Tree' fell during storm!!!
One of California's most popular icons fell in this massive storm, the drive through redwood in northern California!

Is it a symbol for the state or the country???

They need to cut a slice of that sucker to examine the tree rings.

That "hole" has been there for 137 years. This was a storm-of-the-century that took it down.

Yup. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. Also glad it didn't hurt anyone. Still kind of a bummer, was a real landmark. It would still be alive if they didn't cut a hole through it though

False.

"This question is asked thousands of times each year by visitors to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. They are surprised to hear that the famous tunneled sequoia tree they seek was never in these parks, but rather 100 air-miles north in the Mariposa Grove of Yosemite National Park. And to complicate matters further, this famous sequoia, the Wawona Tree, fell over in early 1969.

The tunnel through Yosemite's famous Wawona Tree was cut in 1881 as a tourist attraction. It was the second standing sequoia to be tunneled (the first, a dead tree, still stands in the Tuolumne Grove in Yosemite). The Wawona Tree stood for 88 summers before it fell during the severe winter of 1968-69."

You want to hear something more fascinating?

On December 21,2012--the last day of the Mayan calendar, a redwood tree fell in the Muir Woods national monument just north across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. The place where the tree fell is known as "the Bohemian Grove" because it is the place that the Bohemian Club used to hold their annual encampment meetings 100 or so years ago before they bought their current land farther north.

The falling of the Redwood on that date in that place is significant: the Satanic reign of these evil ones is coming to an end. And soon.

Sad for the drive through sequoia though.

My dad drove through it in the 1970's, with a 1965 Chrysler LeBaron, that was a big hole in that thing, lol. RIP you big old tree, for we all were but a moment of time in those many rings.

I've been through that tree many many times. It's amazing it lasted as long as it did.
 Quoting: Chip


I have as well, Im a Cali native. You really cant describe the awe you feel seeing these massive trees unless you see them in person.

I think these remaining trees are some of the last vestiges you our ancient earth.

There really is nothing left on earth that naturally grows as big as these did, and they truly make you feel like an ant standing next to one.

Since California doesn't represent the values of the rest of the US, I'd say it was a symbol for California, if it was truly symbolic of anything.

 Quoting: Munsoned


If the tree broke up high and the trunk area is still intact .......... then the hole is irrelevant.

However, as a professional hazard tree remover I will make a wild guess that we should never cut a great tree like that up again.

I've driven through that tree a couple times in years past.
I thought it was neat.
I was wrong.

If we hadn't cut emissions because of global warming, the poor tree would have had enough CO2 to eat, and would still be with us.
