Pasadena Wind Storm Cleanup Photography
December 3, 2011
I got a chance today to take a journey around my neighborhood (both by car and by foot) to view the cleanup after a massive windstorm we had in Southern California on Wednesday night. Trees snapped powerlines, came down in the middle of major roads, even crashed into homes, and apartment complexes, and businesses.
Now, three days on, the cities and residents have gotten a grasp on the cleanup. Most roads are now clear in my neighborhood, except for some streets where power lines and tree limbs are still entangled on the ground. One of those closed streets is just around the corner from my home.
Some images from this afternoon:
