After standing less than two weeks, the state Christmas tree is no more [1]. Highs winds blew down and broke the tree early Wednesday morning.
Maintenance crews sawed up the tree with ornaments and lights still attached and hauled it away in a dump truck.
State officials said the search for the massive tree usually takes months.
