storm

Jul 10, 2009 09:35

So at about 3:30 (between 3 and 4 by most reports) a huge storm hit CF. with reported gust of up too 100mph. lots of rain and lots of hail. I slept through most of it (that is how i roll)

when i got up i thought to myself, yeah its till raining no work. but when i called in my boss said "actually we need you." so i got outa bed and went to work. It took 4 different streets to find one that allowed me to get to hudson because of down trees. Lots of power lines down too.

Almost all the people i work with have no power at home. My power went out at 3:30ish and was back on at 5:30 but other havn't been so lucky. Luckly uni has thier own powerplant with 99% of all power lines run under ground.

about half of the trees on campus are damaged. especially in the older part of the campus. all those big old trees. Price lab has had trees punture the windows. and almost every tree at price lab is down. (they had huge elms and ever greens) the tennis courts lost its chain link fense, and the track got a lot of damage. Including a scoccer goal that got blown across the street.

when i came in this morning you couldn't get from one half of the campus to the other. but i helped pull the branches off the side walks and roads. I also got the honor of unclogging some of the drains, so if you can drive down 23rd street you can thank me for finding the drain and clearing it.

i got nothing else. any questions? is every one on lj okay?
