Dust Storm: Aftermath

Liz sent me a photo of the damage on a nearby street. But I didn’t fully comprehend what happened, until I drove down the street myself.

At first, I thought the street was impassable, given how much was in the road. I parked nearby and walked up to the damage… and then saw that cars were barely able to drive around all the fallen branches/leaves.

A view of the damage.

I guess it’s lucky nothing bigger fell down on any of the houses. I wonder how badly the white car (hidden among the leaves) got damaged.

A closer look. Those were definitely some strong winds, yesterday.
