I saw that a tree had indeed fallen on the railroad, another one across the street and three blocks away had taken down a chain link fence, there was a garbage can wrapped around a street sign (not just bent funny, it's a plastic garbage bin and it's got two large tears where the posts of the sign is in), shingles were out of place on one roof of some building by the elevator, and that tin garage door I told you about? Apparently there's a building connected to it that I can't see and it's pretty torn up.
Power had been taken out in certain areas of the town due to downed power lines, the grill cover we have for the grill at work was blown a couple of blocks down across the street (still trying to figure that out, the grill is on the patio which is basically enclosed by the building) and I pretty sure there was something dead on the side of the road that's not there anymore...a boot that was on the side of the road for a few weeks a couple of towns over is gone too.
Two towns west of that town (I have a 32 mile commute) there's a storage silo that is dented inward towards the top. This thing has to be at least 3 stories tall, and, what's more, there are two other silos in front of it. Now when I say silos, I don't mean the old stone ones. Normally I call them storage bins or storage elevators, but they look more like steel silos.
Heh...this town has a place outside to dump all of it's corn, it's a good thing there is no corn this time of year, it'd be all over the place. And just to give those of you who've always lived in a big city an idea of how much corn that is, here is a picture of a corn pile courtesy of Google images:
This almost looks drawn actually...but yeah the piles do get that big, and they even have tarps that cover the whole thing!
