You can see more of the damage on my Flickr photos page. There were two storms yesterday in Indy - one early in the morning around 9:00 or so and another around noon. Both were very strong, brought a lot of rain and a lot of straight-line wind. The rain was coming down horizontally. It hit Irvington particularly hard and sadly many 100+ year old trees, weakened by carpenter ants, fell to the ground, on porches and on houses. Cable and power lines draped over yards. By the time I got home in the evening there were utility trucks everywhere and the sound of chain saws and wood chippers everywhere in the neighborhood. The next day insurance adjustors and cable trucks were combing the neighborhood. Never fool with Mother Nature!
