After the Storm

Above: the already neglected and endangered building at 1305 Benton suffered further damage by Wednesday evening’s devastating winds.

I went home at lunchtime and saw the trucks from other states. That’s a hopeful sign!

The damage to the building on Benton is, on the other hand, very sad. The good news is that most ONSL buildings escaped serious damage despite winds over 70 mph.
