Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2005The Colorado "Hurricane" pics
I just posted some pics of the splintered poles and the work crew on alt.binaries.pictures.scenic. The pictures also give you a good view of what a prairie is like. Dry grass and Yucca plants. -- CATherine > I just posted some pics of the splintered poles and the work crew on > alt.binaries.pictures.scenic.

I think previous storms must have already blwon all the loose dead branches out of trees. Mostly I saw small storage sheds tumbled around, aide from the poles. -- CATherine > I just posted some pics of the splintered poles and the work crew on > alt.binaries.pictures.scenic.

I remember all the downed trees (you don't have a lot of those, thank goodness!) and power lines from our last monster storm. When they finally told us to just go home from the office, I drove my normal route. One of those big transformer things had come off when the pole snapped and landed on top of a very nice pickup truck. Yikes!

Didn't see anything like that, though. -- CATherine Can't blame you for those visions but maybe you don't have enough moving or otherwise cars out there. Now OTOH around here I bet the power co. doesn't let their power poles get that old....can you imagine if they did? What to do in Denver when it's dark......and/or Traffic Chaos and Fried Citizens......LOL. >>> I just posted some pics of the splintered poles and the work crew on >>> alt.binaries.pictures.scenic.

The area I was driving home through had very upscale homes and lots of tall trees. It was actually the wind blowing over the trees that caused the poles to topple because they fell on the wires and well... it was a huge mess. Kind of a domino effect. Luckily no one was hurt.
