So beautiful. Even out the carwindow. Even more lovely since you can't smell it.
Aaaaand here we are. This is at the gas station we had to go to in order to get cash from the ATM. Power outages in mass quantities mean no credit card machines work, you have to actually drive further than usual to get gas because the pumps run on electricity, and your library fines just might be absolved if you're lucky.
Fence down!
Trees were looking like someone just twisted the top of them off, like unscrewing a mason jar.
Closer to home, this is what I saw when picking up Maddie's BFF for a playdate. This is about 1 mi. from my home. The people who live near this debacle just got power back today. They went 4 days without it people....and they are on wells. That means no toilet flushing. No running water. Nothing.
This is the root system of aforementioned tree. There were two such deformities in one yard.
If a tree falls in the woods, and no one hears it....well, I'm sure these people heard it.
The other one.
And while those are some of the biggest I saw, the damage is everywhere. Here are some from my block. My entire neighborhood lost trees just like this.
From further away. I really wish this was the exception, but in fact, it was the rule.
Haven't yet heard if anyone's been hurt, so that is good. While this is bad and losing power sucks, it totally coulda been worse.
