I was out drving this morning looking for a place I might be able to find coffee & Internet to work from as my power was out.  There were all kind of trees down, including huge ones, and one which fell across Beltline just a few minutes (apparently) after I had passed by going the other way.  Sylvan @ Trenholm was completely blocked, and Kilbourne seemed to have a tree down in every yard.  So, intead of thinking to take pictures, I got worried about whether I could actually get home (given I couldn't go back down Beltline), and totally forgot to take any shots other than the ones of the <i>Caro<\/i> sign.<\/p>\n<p>Hope everyone is OK!<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE 30 September 2024<\/b> -- Well, to revise & extend my remarks, as they say, based on the comments, it seems that the <i>Caro<\/i> sign was damaged before the storm.  I will leave the pictures, because that's it's done, but I will add a few mild actual storm damage pictures below.  When I wrote this post last Friday, I thought we had been through a medium-bad event, nothing like the <a href=\"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/?tag=great-flood-of-2015\">Flood of 2015<\/a>.
