Downtown DC/Penn Quarter’s Irene Aftermath
A toppled tree on 4th Street NW next to the GAO was the worst damage we saw while out this morning along with a few other visible signs that the perimeter of hurricane Irene blew through Penn Quarter and downtown last night. Other evidence of the storm included toppled newspaper boxes, a few young trees leaning against their wire restraints, a knocked over chain link fence, and debris on the street. Consistent with our experience living downtown through other storms, we didn’t experience any interruptions in power. If you have any photos of the storm’s damage to add, send them in to pqliving [at] gmail.com and we’ll post them. Check after the break for the full photo set. Have any impressions about the storm and how it was handled by the authorities?
