Common Spikeweed

This nasty spiny summer plant is common spikeweed.  Each leaf is a spine, and you can barely touch the plant.

Specimens collected by Steve Deaver and Ryder Richards. ID by Guy Kyser of UC Davis.

Multi-branch collapse on valley oaks in Gold Springs, 8 July 2018

At about 10:45 pm, 8 July 2018, we heard loud crackling sounds, followed by breaks, crackling and thuds. Heather and I went over, using spotlights, and found that a number of branches of large valley oaks had broken off. I took these photos the next morning. It appears that five large branches fell, from three different valley oaks. A dominoes effect must have occurred, with one very high branch taking down another, high branch on a different tree, and they took out everything beneath them.
