CAPSIZED ISLAND--

Toppled trees on this small island in Mansfield's Clear Fork Reservoir near Lexington make it appear the island has, indeed, tipped over.

Recent heavy rain events have saturated the ground to the extent the moist soil is not always capable of anchoring shallow rooted trees, then the gusty winds of passing weather systems make short and fatal work of them.

This photo was taken by Tommy Barnes, a well known local radio personality at Mansfield's WMAN AM and FM stations and shared by Peggy Volz Smith who lives in the neighborhood of the reservoir and has offered frequent Facebook commentary on her own recent storm-related conditions.
