Debris and twisted trees

September 20, 2008

A week after hurricane Ike hit, the debris and damage from the winds is still everywhere. I set out on a 10 mile run this morning through West U, Zoo, and around the Hermann Park Golf Course.

Many are still without power. A common sighting were extensions cords running from houses on one side of the street where power has been restored to others on the other side that still have no power. Piles and piles of tree limbs and bags of leafs are sitting on the side walks and street corners. The golf course remains closed with large trees twisted from the wind toppled over across the greens.

An incredible amount of work still needs to be done to put the city back together
