Mighty winds

Beginning with some mighty rain overnight Sunday we've had some pretty strong winds blowing through the region, the leftovers of Tropical Storm Tomas I guess which blew up the eastern seaboard then into the Canadian Maritime Provinces.

On my noon walk Monday I came across this tree split at the base up at the Eastern Promenade.

Tuesday's walk included this view of Deering Street. Most of the leaves are down forming a soggy carpet along the roadway.

This morning on my way to the office I noticed this sign which as I approached appeared to have been bend over from the winds. On closer examination the wind had knocked it over but only because it had been installed by attaching it to the brick work. Maybe getting hired by the public Works Department should require some sort of IQ test.
