Ice Storm Aftermath

For everyone that lives here in Missouri, we all know of the extensive cleanup that is still going on everyday. The trucks that pass by us on the highway and roads are full of branches and parts of trees. There are several areas around that they dump these onto only to pile them into massive piles and then burn them. We happen to have a dump site that is only about 2 blocks from our home and the other night it was up in flames. You can see just how big this thing is by looking at the one photo with a weird circle in it. The circle I've enhanced is actually a full size pickup truck. No kidding. This thing was huge. The funny thing is in about a week they'll have another one.

  • So did they actually burn a pickup truck?

    I think I see some of my trees in there....

  • No, there were several vehicles close by and several people out there tending to their fire. I wanted to emphasize how small the truck was compared to the fire.

    You mean you "saw" some of your branches. Now they are just dust in the wind.
