The heavy rain and flooding that have inundated the mid-Atlantic states for the last few days have caused wide spread damage to private and public property as well as to trees. Among the many trees which broke and toppled was an old elm tree that stood on the front lawn of the White House. No one knows how old the elm was but it will live on in history as long as we use US $20 bills with the current design. That tree on the right side of the White House that you see on the back of your twenty dollar note, is the one that broke.
