  • 8.7 mile run, Pages Lane loop (felt wonderful and smooth...like I was glider girl :)...love my Hattori's!)

I ran from NSL to Bountiful to Centerville and the damage just got worse as I ran north.  A few crazy things on today's run:

  • branches, pine needles, shingles, garbage everywhere
  • random street light encasings here and there
  • power lines down
  • sidewalks completely blocked off from fallen trees
  • a house with it's front window completely blown out
  • large pine trees down everywhere
  • fences down and broken
  • several large trees down at the front of the Bountiful Cemetery
  • watching crews replace entire traffic lights that were just plain missing (those things are huge BTW, it was half the guy's size who was struggling to carry it across the road)
  • going to the bathroom in a pitch black restroom at the grocery store in Centerville because they were running on generators!  The poor employees had to wear gloves and coats

I feel bad for people who have sustained so much damage!  We luckily made it out with just a broken gate post and storm drain.  Our neighbors around us and some friends further north had some bad damage....so sad.  Hope you all were OK and didn't get any damage yourselves!

What a crazy storm! It was terrible here too: it really messed up my hair as I was walking from my office to class.

Haha, oh the horror and damage! I hope you canceled class due to the recovery and rebuilding that takes to repair...
