weather update

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.

Actually, there are only three "Archie Bunkers" on our street (there was an oddly-shaped trapezoidal lot that apparently lay fallow until the 1910s, when somebody subdivided it and put three one-room-wide "Colonial" houses--the aforementioned Archie Bunkers--on it); the rest are a mixture of Queen Anne [Victorian], Tudor, and [large] Colonial.
