He said he has never seen destruction this extensive. "All the storms added together don't equal this”, said Litz.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3KnP41_1Et2twYD00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3KnP41_1Et2twYD00" width="1280" height="720" ></figure>Litz said much of the damage may not be immediately visible because it is located in backyards, "There's a lot of damage. There's a lot of damage people don't even see because it's in backyards. They are seeing what's in the streets and front yards, but there's a lot of damage in backyards."The damage was widespread, with the Frontier neighborhood among the areas hit particularly hard. According to Litz, "We have been on the east side, we have been on the west side, we have been uptown, downtown. Frontier area got hit pretty hard. But it's all over, there's messes in backyards, it's significant."Litz said seeing the damage from above provides an even greater perspective on just how widespread the destruction is, "When you get up in the bucket truck and you get an aerial view, you can just see the amount of destruction."Many of the trees brought down by the storms were more than 100 feet tall and appeared to be healthy before the storm. As Litz explained, "We haven't done a dead tree yet. Everything has been live, the wind catches the alive trees."Frontier wasn't the only area hit hard. West 13th Street also saw significant damage, where Bentley's Tree Removal spent Saturday morning removing trees and large limbs.For tree removal companies, the cleanup is only beginning. Crews said they expect to have long days ahead as they work through the extensive storm damage. "We are probably booked for next week. We have several crews out. So we will keep working. We are working through the holiday”, said Litz.</div></body>
