#470

Yes, I have. The utility pole with the transformer in all the pictures is point 820. All the trees in Huck’s photo with red tape around the trunk were hit. Using
Huck's photo for reference:
The first match point is the leafless top of the skinny pointed tree to the right of the mailbox, with a single bare branch pointing left and a shorter one to the right. Zoom in and you can see the red tape on the trunk. This matches the tree to the left of pole 820 in the top photo in post
#470 , but viewed from the opposite direction.
This same tree is visible in the lower photo of post
#470 almost directly behind the mailbox. About 2/3 of the way up from the mailbox is a horizontal, yellowish leafy area that almost looks like a ring around the trunk. In Huck’s photo it is reddish, about halfway up the tree.
The other damaged trees in the upper photo are between tree 854 and the driveway. It is hard to get a reference for them due to perspective compression from the photo being taken with a telephoto lens. Tree 854 is off Huck’s photo to the right.
Damage to the trees is easier to see when compared with Google Street View which is here:
