I came accross the scene just after it happened.  Here is a shot of the tree.  It was a big one.  The rider looked like he was shook up but okay.  I'm not sure about his bike.  Thankfully, he appeared not to be severely hurt.

Thank goodness he survived! Yesterday was freakish. There was a noticeable pall of dust and dirt in the air. Reminded me just a tiny bit of what I've seen and read about the Dust Bowl.
