geovikiZOMG! Just a quick post to say I'm home from Azkatraz. Last night there was a horrific hail/wind storm here, and what was once a pretty nice honeylocust tree in our back yard is now prostrate on the lawn (having barely missed the house, thank god), as are numerous trees in the area. Any summer flower (and my special daylily bed in particular) is trashed. No vegetable garden. There are just leaves everywhere - on the lawns, in the street, plastered on the house - and the whole town smells woody like fallen trees.
Pictures forthcoming. Until then you can read about it here. A lot of those photos are from right around me.
Great quote: "It was wild," the 73-year-old said as she surveyed the damage at her home on Jellison Street near West 32nd Avenue on Tuesday. "It was just like one of those Harry Potter movies."
