We went exploring the other night -- well, that sounds too exciting for what we actually did. I needed to get out of the house, and I wanted to see what Irene left in her path, so after some nudging Sam took me on a drive around our neighborhood.

| Down the street from us |
 |
| These Japanese Maples did not fare well, but are among the few in our neighborhood that are still rooted in the ground. |
 |
| Did the wind knock this off? A tree branch? |
 |
| This house has been the talk of the town -- and not for a good reason. Simply heartbreaking. |
 | |
| The roots from the tree in the picture above. This neighborhood is on day 4 of no electricity, and they may not have any until Friday. |
 |
| Another tree down on the campus of Union Presbyterian Seminary on Brook and Westwood |
 |
| Whatever kind of tree this is, it did not withstand the strong winds of Irene. This house, located in a very wealthy and swank part of Richmond, had 3 of these trees planted in front. All 3 trees were uprooted and laying in their front yard and on their house. |
 |
| Ada and I had to take a different route during our walk of the neighborhood Monday -- this tree was blocking our path. |
 |
| Bryan Park |
I'll say it again. We were beyond lucky.
