Thursday Post - Hurricane Sandy, 4

On Tuesday I got on my mountain bike, and headed up to town to ride around and see what kind of damage there was. There were trees down everywhere - large ones and small ones. From where we were, the winds didn't seem all that strong. I rode over to Glen Head, and was amazed what I saw there. There were several power poles with their entire tops snapped off! I mean, these are power poles! Just snapped in two! Wires were down everywhere, pulled down by trees. Apparently the trees snagged the wires and that's what snapped the poles off. I know this damage doesn't hold a candle to the destruction everywhere else. It is just what I saw in my neighborhood.
