Post your hurricane/tropical storm damage pics here

So it seems Texas just couldn't help but share some of the lovely weather with us up-North folk. Lots of trees and power lines came down, and there are some 165,000 households without power in Louisville alone. Haven't seen any figures for my side of the river. But, it won't be getting better soon, since our power crews are all down south helping out.

But hey, I got to go home from work early

Here are some pics:

These two are of a very old cemetary, with Civil War veterans buried within. I know it's going to be a long time before it gets cleaned up too, the place is very neglected:

Felt bad for these guys, that's the second house on that property to get obliterated by a tree:

lolz:

Over our dog's little fenced-in running area. The fence didn't even get bent, and the dog is okay.

Remember those autumn pics I took a while back? This is what that area looks like now:

Fallen tree, with a railroad tie in the middle!

My neighbor's yard. If this tree had fallen ten feet to the right it would have obliterated his house:

And, this was the most bizarre thing I saw all day:

A tiny baby bird hanging out in the fallen tree...it never budged an inch, even when I went home to get my camera. I wonder if it can even fly...

So many roads are still blocked by trees and power lines.The wind is picking up again, and the skies are still very gray. We may not be entirely out of this yet. But hey, awesome pic opportunities.

R, are these walnuts on the ground?

 

[Chromatose]

There's a big broken branch still in a tree right above where I park my car, that's the extent of it and the storm went right over us pshaw.

I guess I also got a little wet from the tiny bit o' rain.

R, are these walnuts on the ground?

Yep, they're everywhere. That whole side of my house is walnut trees.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Derick: That broken branch was there before! All the storm did was knock it down a little more

 

[tered]

That's some foul Sh*t going on there!
Yeah Karen...those walnut husks are a bitch! Hardly worth picking up since they take forever getting to the nut, stain your hands green/yellow and stink like bitter hell. Squirrels love em and tear into them in minutes. I've got them about that size here as well, but often they take the nut and go stash it. Now I've got little trees all over the place :Smug:

 

[Morganna]

This about had me in tears, the poor little thing.

Seeing the those massive trees is really freaky. I'm glad you guys are ok.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

damn. We didnt get anything like that here in Springfield.

Uprooted trees are metal as fuck!

 

[Phoenix5]

I wish I owned a tree removal service in your area.

 

[DarkNoise]

was the siding on this house actually all the way on before the shit hit the fan? Cause if so, the Tyvek held surprisingly well.

Incidentally, hope all you folks down in that area are doin alright

I first looked at this thread at work, and it's hard to see the monitor because there are really bright lights shining on the counter, so I thought "damn, your dog plays with a lot of tennis balls."

Actually, he does.
