Devestation!

This Friday the Empress and I went "Up North". Our way "Up North" takes us on HWY 32 through Mountain and the town of Riverview. I was not prepared for what I saw. The photos I present here are taken from the car while moving and maybe even by myself with one hand on the wheel the other trying to capture photos.

There were red pine plantations and those look like a giant lawn mower went through and cut them down. Unfortunately, houses were mixed in with those pines and they suffered quite a bit of damage. We did not stop either on the way Up or the way back but attempted to photograph as best we could. The pictures do not do a very good job conveying the damage actually on the scene.
