Kate's Tree Survives Storm Damage

A legendary oak on Amelia Island, known as “Kate’s Tree,” suffered major storm damage when a massive branch snapped off and blocked traffic—forcing crews to clear it quickly. This iconic tree, whose road curves around it in homage to Katherine Bailey, the woman who famously fought to save it over a century ago, stands as a living piece of local history. Despite the storm’s impact, city officials vow to preserve the tree for future generations, reminding us that even enduring landmarks need care—and that history can be both resilient and vulnerable.
