Frances vs. Atlanta: the aftermath
1) I think my parents have power back now. Not sure. Historically their neighborhood and Georgia Power have not been on speaking terms.
2) There are downed branches all over Virginia-Highland. I didn’t see any damaged cars; after the Cunard tragedy last year, the city may be doing a slightly better job of making sure that the worst potential falling trees get tended to. Of course, I say this a couple weeks after a tree landed (with no damage) on my apartment building.
I did see a pic in yesterday’s AJC of a downed tree crushing two street-parked cars in the neighborhood (looked like Virginia Ave just west of Highland to me). No injuries. My own car, uncrushed, is simply a mess.
