Downed trees and puddles. Fringes of destruction.

A few days ago, Manitoba was hit with a huge storm. Torrential down-pours flooded the area, and grape sized hail clanged on our rooftops. Winds gusted at near 100 km/h, and power was lost all over our city. Trees were blown over their limbs were flailed and scattered on the lush green grass.

It was the perfect time to have guests over.

Large lakes have formed on each side of the Trans-Canada Highway (I wish I had my camera). One day later and the aftermath can still be observed, and I documented it in pure observational form. But most documentaries are glammed up. Without being too presumptuous I give you the Fringes of destruction:

No parking sign gimp'd

Curb with reds enhanced for drama.

Downed tree gimp'd

Devastatingly dry drain-curb

Puddle gimp'd
