aftermath pt. 2

The morning after Gustav hit Adam and JJ drove around town and took a few pictures. These first few are of our institute building that barely missed some serious damage....Beautiful Highland Dr. was just devastated. There were trees down across the road and tangled up in powerlines everywhere. These poor people parked their car in the wrong place.....Burbank and Nicholson had lots of flooding and downed power lines.Here's a view of the river close to where I work:
This is Adam's brother's store - Terrace Grocery. Since Adam and his family are from Palestine we call it Terrorist Grocery.....hehe.

Are things starting to get back to normal? Did the city people come get all those piles of trees and limbs off the side of Highland? I'm sure it will take a long time to get everything cleaned up. So glad you were safe!

It's amazing how much destruction a hurricane can produce. It was a shame that Gustaf transformed Baton Rouge from a relatively safe evacuation point into an impact zone with significant damage. I'm sure glad you guys stayed safe and only experienced the inconvenience of no power, etc.
