On Wednesday night, it was raining everything but actual rain. I was driving from my house to a restaurant, and I got buzzed by the following: a utility pole power transformer, a live electrical wire, two traffic barrels, half of a Bradford pear tree, a street sign (not pictured, this is a reader photo from the
Post-Dispatch from the same time), a mini-tornado of debris and what I think was a lid from an old washing machine. Somehow, my car emerged undamaged. Of course, our power was out for upwards of two days. I think Mother Nature may be off her medication.

First off, glad to hear you're okay.
Secondly, how was dinner?
It wasn't.
The restaurant was without power and its walls were swaying in the wind by the time I arrived, so I led a car train through an obstacle course back to my house. We dodged trees, stop signs, traffic barrels and all sorts of other things.
I warmed up a can of vegetable soup just before our own power went out. I suppose it was just as well.
