I bagged my early morning ride, which is much of that same loop. The neighborhood streets were littered with branches and I saw a number of trees down, so I just did about 5-6 miles. (I still had to go to IHOP!)
Around 5:15 .m., on S Irving Street, between 5th and 3rd, a tree was down across all but about three or four feet of the street. Power and/or telephone lines were down, too, covering that gap. As I approach 2nd Street, an SUV comes tearing around the corner and I motioned for it to slow down. As he drove by, he greeted me with a “Shut the F* up motherf*er. I shouted there was a tree down. I don’t know if he heard me, but I heard him hitting the brakes. I was tempted to turn around and see if he hit the tree, but I knew I’d start laughing at him and figured I’d just keep going.
