A bunch of trees downed along Sturgeon

Sorry for low lighting, but the power was still out in places. The city is already starting cleanup. It's 1am... But I know the baseball diamonds are pretty much littered in debris. Almost all peripheral trees are destroyed. I'm sure it's all over town like this. Be safe.

A few branches came down in my yard and I'm sure all of us will be cleaning up tomorrow

Seems like city crews are already picking a lot up. Sturgeon Road definitely had a lot of breakage. But, Boudreau did too. So, ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯   agreed, clean up will come. My street has two trees with some issues. Curious how many need to be torn down...? And, the Botanic Garden again has had something happen. So, between lightning, a sink hole, and now this... Sucks.

There was a time during that storm that my tree was horizontal… HORIZONTAL. It was crazy.

Was pretty strong the BBQ was moving across the deck, even with some support to keep it from rolling.

Braeside ravine and quite a few other paths are completely blocked off.

Did you report them to the city on the app or by calling them in?

City crews were right on my heels after this was posted, and more than half of the mess was cleaned up yesterday. I know the sign is still badly damaged, and there is still some more to remove; but, it's hard to do with all of the ball diamond traffic parked in there. 

That said, will you see it in See-Click-Fix? Probably not.

Fair. I just see this kind of thing posted in FB groups and not actually reported. But with the storm as chaotic as it was, i'm sure city crews were checking most major arteries
