A Front

The front blew in last night. Driving from my house to the community college, here's what I noticed.

- ALL temporary stop signs at Holleman Drive and Saddle were knocked over
- The railroad crossings were being repaired, but I got through
- A barrel knocked onto the shoulder of the road (George Bush and Wellborn)
- Two large plastic trash cans on the shoulder (Wellborn, near Church Street)
- A downed tree on campus (partially destroyed)
- A malfunctioning stoplight ahead (thankfully I don't use it, it was flashing red)

And, sadly, the Shipley Do-Nuts on Cavitt and Villa Maria had every panel of the "cube" completely destroyed, leaving two shining bulbs inside.
