After the Storm!

Last week we had a powerful storm hit the coast with 80+ mph winds. Most damage was confined away from the immediate coast while downed trees and branches took down power lines. Some areas of Cape Ann didn't have power restored until 72 hours later. Luckily my neighborhood survived except for a small tree which took down the line for the fire alarm system of the East Gloucester Elementary School. Here I include the windy day after the storm. And shots from Rockport and Manchester-By-the-Sea.
