The Farm Report

The day after

060408_01
After yesterday's adventures, we were surprised to find that we barely lost a single tree branch. I found it strange that it appeared as if nothing had happened, despite all the fuss.

But tonight, we felt some aftershocks. A sudden rain and wind storm came tearing through. I didn't think it really seemed that bad, so I was a bit floored by the results. Huge trees had fallen everywhere. Our power was out due to a utility pole that snapped in the middle, leaving the top half leaning at a 45 degree angle.

Much of the city still as no power, and there's going to be a huge amount of clean-up. Even as I drove around, I could hear the buzzing of chainsaws as people began to clean up the mess before darkness fell.
