Video and Photos of August 15, 2007 Storm

I went out for a few hours this morning and took a ton of photos of the destruction throughout Highland. You can see them here: by clicking on this text.

During the Storm
The video is poor due to the dark of night, but the audio is quite scary. In this video, one of the biggest wind gusts that came with a crash of thunder. The wind knocked me over as I was filming from inside the screen door.
