The night of the storm. That's my neighbor's tree, which had fallen onto their house:

My house, the morning after:

Note where the street light is to figure out where the street's supposed to be:

I'm standing in the middle of the street taking this pic:

On my way to work today - this is one full week after the storm hit, btw:

Tree damage at UB:

Last one:

I'm very lucky that there's no major damage to my house, and that I have power. 7 days after, and there are still thousands without electricity.

Wow!!! You really captured some of the scope of that storm - much better than some of the national photos I saw!

I can't believe that...you guys were very lucky! When did you finally get your power back?

Holy Crap! Those pics where you are standing in the street and you can't tell?... Unbelievable! Another thing that looks bizzare is the snow is now all gone! It's sad about the trees... It take so long to get them that big... and just a few hours to bring them down... There will be scars for a long time.

Thanks for sharing. You really dont' get a good idea on how bad it was on the national news. Your pics pretty much summed it up.
