The powerful winds of last week’s derecho storm targeted one of D.C.’s best assets: its plentiful tree cover.

In the wake of the storm, residents and city agencies awoke to trees that had come down, some crushing cars, others taking down power lines. Some of the trees were big, others small; some only came down in part, with branches falling but the tree itself remaining upright. But how many trees actually came down?

According to the D.C. Department of Transportation—which includes the Urban Forestry Administration—the storm produced 1,700 service requests and resulted in 900 work orders. Of those, 270 work orders deal with downed trees, both on private and public property. (The remaining work orders are mostly for debris cleanup.)

That’s probably only a fraction of the trees that were felled by the winds, though, as many homeowners have chosen to deal with them using contractors.
