I live right next to and work in Pasadena so the entire place was declared a disaster area by the government after the crazy-ass windstorms. Still, even after all of the damage, I live in a beautiful city.
I'll go on a picture gathering mission tomorrow...Arcadia has so many gorgeous, tall trees that have blown down, often blocking the major roads. Imagine a state park. Then imagine it's criss-crossed by two and four lane highways (two to four on each side). And then imagine a tornado touched down and blew down every fourth tree in the forest.
Ironically there are still a lot of trees that look just fine. After the cleanup, there will be some weird stumps and tree trunks with no branches or leaves...but with the other 3/4ths of the trees still there and all of the grass and stuff, it's all still very pretty.
