Hurricane Irene Crushed Cars in Washington DC

For those of us living in Washington DC, Hurricane Irene made her visit, departed, and is now harassing New York.  With golf out of the question on “the day after Irene” due to debris on the course, I decided to make a tour around DC to survey the damage.  Fortunately we were spared from much of the forecasted impact.  However, some poor folks were not as lucky.

As I toured the city, I found little of interest to photograph until I returned to my Capitol Hill neighborhood.  Here I found a number of trees knocked down with unfortunate consequences for the cars trying to support them.  Gratefully, my car was among the untouched.  From what I could tell, none of the damaged and crushed cars involved injuries to people or anything other than the car and some uprooted sidewalks.  Cars and sidewalks can be replaced.

With little additional to add, the remainder of this post is dedicated to documenting the damage in Southeast and North East Washington DC.

Beware of trees during hurricanes.  And until the next storm visits, go make some great photography.
