BERYL EFFECTS – WHY SO MUCH TREE DAMAGE?

Hurricane Beryl hit the Houston area with only a few days warning. Based on data from previous hurricanes, a Category 1 hurricane is expected to have devastating effects on trees, particularly trees in urban areas. There were specific factors associated with Hurricane Beryl, such as the fact that Houston was on the “dirty” side of the storm resulting in excessive rainfall and wind damage, which exacerbated the tree damage associated with a hurricane of this magnitude. Wind gusts of over 90 mph were reported, making the windspeeds of Beryl comparable to Hurricane Ike. 

Important Tips on fencing

When repairing or replacing fencing there are several important items to keep in mind. The Association encourages you to reach out to your neighbors before working on shared or “good neighbor” fencing (alternating panels). Another important step is to make sure that your fence is not Association owned “Community Fencing”. Some brick, iron, and wood fences, primarily located along common areas or major boulevards, belong to the Association. Please contact the Association office for specific locations of community fencing or email operations@clubsienna.com to verify if you share Association fencing. You can also review the Community Fencing Guidelines on siennaet.com in the Resource Library.
