GOD HATES MINNESOTA

My entire neighborhood looks like this! Only without the house.

Como Park got ass-raped but I didn't have my camera to take pictures. Huge old trees are down all over the place. The Maryland/Dale stoplights are STILL out. Sirens went by every five minutes from 4 to 8 am. Whole streets are blocked off by police tape due to trees in the road.

I haven't seen destruction like this since the October 1997 ice storm (and subsequent federal emergency) when I was living in N*braska.

Tomorrow I will strap on my new rollerblades and go take photographs of the destruction around town. Meanwhile, another storm is rolling in...

PS - If you live around here, I'd love to hear your stories. Storms = win.
