Reader Sheela Percelay submitted this photo with the following comment: “Imagine my surprise this morning when I went to pour a cup of coffee and saw my favorite tree of 84 years felled by this storm. I guess I’m a heavier sleeper than I thought, since I didn’t hear a thing when it must have come crashing down. Luckily, this massive laurel fell parallel to my house. Otherwise it would have shattered two large picture windows facing my back yard. I’m 96 and didn’t expect to outlast this old friend.” The photo was taken Feb. 23, 2026.

Reader Meredith Griffith took this photo while crouching to peek throughher mail slot. “I thought I was wicked clever by putting a full-sized wheelbarrow out to mark my property line. The rim of the wheelbarrow is circled. I live on a T intersection, and most of what is pictured is an unplowed street,” she said. The photo was taken in northeast Warwick around 11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 23, 2026.
