The Day After

Not that anybody reading this actually cares, but here's an update anyway...

Insulation and roofing material are everywhere, along with tree branches and whole trees (including roots). We were the lead story on Good Morning, America, I hear. Street signs are also all over the place, although a lot of that sort of thing has been cleaned up now. The traffic signal poles that came down yesterday were cleaned up overnight.

There was some looting, but it mostly consisted of dumbasses going into damaged buildings to raid the alcohol cooler.

The parking ramp I park in about half the time was hit, and cars inside were thrown around. One of them had a big steel beam sticking through its windshield. Glad I parked in the other ramp last night.

This morning, a lot of streets were still blocked by debris, but the main roads seem to be fine now. Can't vouch for the side roads.

No serious injuries in our area, apparently. Which is amazing considering not only the damage but the Idiots Out Walking Around.

The U has photo galleries up.
