Every fact cited
Watertown’s exposure to open prairie wind and lake-effect weather around Lake Kampeska means storm-driven tree failure is a real seasonal risk, on top of the city’s confirmed EAB presence weakening some ash trees ahead of any storm. A true emergency is a tree down, leaning onto a structure, or touching power lines — get clear, call 911 if lines are involved, then call an emergency tree service.

Are lakefront trees near Lake Kampeska more likely to come down in a storm?
