Checking Out Downtown Sacramento Windstorm Damage

Left: Center of Praise Ministries, at 23rd & Capitol. I saw coverage of this on Channel 3 while waiting in line at the post office Friday afternoon. While there is roof damage, the building itself is almost unaffected, and so there will be services here on Sunday morning. It looks like the smaller branches of the canopy shattered as the tree came down, somewhat cushioning the blow, and the weight is well-distributed on both the lower and upper roofs. Could have been a lot worse!

Left: House at 27th & F Street. Massive, massive damage here - it looks like Godzilla stomped on it (SacBee article).


Left: McKinley Park.

Left: Palms dropped everything when the winds picked up (28th Street, between Broadway and X Streets).

Left: Tons and tons of finely-divided, salady-vegetably junk lines the streets everywhere.

Left: This dog found something yummy that had washed onto the drainage grate in this alley (near Smart & Final, near Broadway & 28th.)
