Please read yesterday’s post for more information about why I’m posting this instead of my usual photo fare. As with yesterday, these are JPEGs straight from my Olympus Pen E-PL1 with no image processing.
There were an awful lot of damaged and downed trees in the neighborhood, including Juniper Valley park.
Here’s another view:
Here’s a view of a street with fallen trees and downed utility lines.
Here is another shot of the fallen tree that was in the night shot of the Friday post. It’s huge, but appears to have no roots so you can see why it toppled.
This Lutheran Church lost part of the front piece at the top of the building:
I’ll close with this, which needs no description:

18 Sep 2010Glad you “weathered the storm”. Coming from the middle west, the things are not too uncommon. In 1948, early in the morning, it got pretty violent. Turns out our location was just off one of the most damaging tornado tracks every. 4 miles N. the damage was severe with whole blocks nothing but toothpicks (and those were the years before “mobile homes”). To the SW the city of Bunker Hill was virtually wiped out. My grandmother’s house was moved about 2 inches on the foundation and the roof had damage. Both to the SW and NE of her house the damage was something to behold. Just skipped over her. Scary for sure. But where are your magazine cover shots taken DURING the event? 🙂 🙂
