I went put flowers on graves at Cedar Memorial Cemetery in Cedar Rapids, when I came upon this downed tree. I had gone there on Monday afternoon after the storms the night before. It looked like the tree, a pine tree, had fallen on top of several graves. It was the only damage I have seen on the northeast side of Cedar Rapids after the Memorial Day storms. The tree was located on the north side of the pond, up towards the entrance to the cemetery. It looked like it was fifty years or more old, by looking at the size of the base of the tree. It looked like it was cause by wind damage.
