and I know you remember Gaston, Charlie, and all the other storms in Va. from 2001 thru 2011... Richmond got ravaged... and I'm glad to be back in the snow belt...
yes, it's all funny till you are in the middle of that cluster fark...
tropical storm, an hour inland from the ocean where I lived in Hanover Va., ohhhhh no problem.. yeah right... tree fell on my barn, with my bikes inside.. digging for those photos, but in the aftermath of Gaston, I took my Z bike out to find viable roads... there weren't any... I had to travel 5 miles north, to go anywhere south, east, or west... truly sucked donkeyballlz...
took almost 5 months for the repairs to make acceptable passage to work... man.
first pic was where a woman perished, as her car was carried UPSTREAM from a bridge collapse where I turned around and backtracked from.. the second pic is the actual bridge on 301, that was lifted completely off the stanchions, and was bouncing up and down as I approached and turned around... I stopped, and blocked the road, lit flares, and backtracked... and notified the sherriff's of what I saw... mind you, this was during the height of the storm, and it was completely dark.... I never knew the woman in the car was there, and there was another drowning in a vehicle which I passed escaping the area.. which I never knew about either of which, till the next day.. godspeed to them... the rest are carnage...
