Remnants of Ike

The remnants of Ike are still packing a heck of a punch. Wind gusts of 70 miles-an-hour were typical at midday. The power went out at the gym, so I quickly showered and left.

While power was out most of the way home, a few lights were still operating. Check out the angles of the stoplights.

Another intersection, but the lights are on here as well.

You don't often see a stoplight in this position.

Over this bridge, there was a strange dust storm kicking up, though it had died down by the time I snapped the shot.

Power is still on where we live, perhaps because much of the electric transmission is underground in our area.
