weather update

[hudebnik]

Now that there's some daylight, I walked around the neighborhood taking some better pictures. All of these are within three blocks of our house.


[Edit 9:15 AM: added a few more that didn't come out the first time I took them.]

from our front door

also from our front door

also also from our front door

the sidewalk in front of our house

the base of the tree that is now in our front yard

the same, closer up

another tree across the street that only lost a limb

the house three doors down

the cross street, taken from about thirty feet from our front door

the same, seen from the other direction

an intersection two blocks away

the same, from the other side

a garage two blocks from our house

a house two blocks away

the base of the same tree, which took a couple of limbs off another large tree

where those limbs landed

ditto (there's a motorcycle and a car in there)

a near miss

two blocks away in a different direction

the same, including the house we almost bought in 2001

Note that our neighborhood has a lot of big trees, and there seems no rhyme or reason to which ones came down and which still look perfectly fine.

I don't know what the problem is, but I don't see a single photo in this post. I've dinked around with the cursor and not run across any indications of unloaded images, either. Hmmm.

Peculiar. Has anybody else had that problem?

If you really want, you could type in the URL's

http://www.adelphi.edu/sbloch/pics/morning%202.jpg
...
http://www.adelphi.edu/sbloch/pics/morning%2021.jpg
directly.

Curiouser and curioser! When I paste these in directly, I get:

"Not Found

That's really weird. I recognize that message, and yes, we're in the middle of migrating servers, but all of these pictures are on the NEW panther, not the old one. When I type in any of those URL's, I get a picture.

Try http://home.adelphi.edu/sbloch/pics/morning%201.jpg etc. (replacing the "www" with "home").
