We went out again in between feeder bands early last evening to scavenge for food, and I snapped the new photos at left (click for larger pop-ups) and below. After all, what are hurricane photos really, without a few sign damage pics thrown in for good measure? And to demonstrate the lighter side of Frances' fury, I snapped one of our neighbor's flimsy metal mailbox appearing to hide and cower behind our larger wooden one for cover.
