Project 365: Day 1 - The Aftermath

I was going to start my "Project 365" yesterday, the thing where you post a new picture every single day for a year, but the tornado and subsequent power outage put that on hiatus.

Idea from: http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/project-365-take-a-photo-a-day/

A tornado, in northern Virginia! It's been 24 hours and there is still no power on my street, probably because there are several trees lying on the road on top of the wires.


Taken with a digital Rebel XTi. ISO400; 1/160 seconds at F/7.1. Canon EF-S 17-85mm lens at 85mm.

There were two fallen trees that I found out about. One next door to us, which, thankfully, only took down the neighbor's fence (and power lines). Then there was another down the street, which was apparently sucked up out of the ground and then thrown onto this one dude's house...naturally, as is always the case when misfortune befalls another, there were plenty of curious neighbors armed with cameras swarming the scene.

In any case, the lack of power made for a boring (and hungry) night. My dad didn't want anyone leaving the house, and our stove was crippled by the lack of electricity, so we ate buns and sandwiches for dinner. Savage!
