Yummy's Video Shows Tree Crashing Down

Take a look! Yummy's surveillance video shows just how powerful Mother Nature can be. Several branches from the 200-year-old Cedar tree came crashing down on the restaurant's patio.

You can see the waterspout turned tornado rips the tree limbs apart just after 10:03 a.m. on Thursday, June 6.

Owners Lori Luczak and Richard Reale made the decision on Wednesday to remain closed throughout the tropical storm. As a result, no one was at Yummy's when the tree came down and no one was hurt.

City officials, Yummy's extended family and neighbors came out in the rain on Thursday to help clean up the damage. On Friday, the eatery opened up for business and welcomed patrons for lunch. They will remain open for Friday night's First Friday Art Walk, which begins at 6 p.m.
