I lived a few blocks in from the center-right edge of this photo when it hit.

It was really wild to look down these streets that used to be lined with huge shady boulevard trees, and just see clear sky down for 1/2 mile straight.

Not being from MSP (hello from Winnipeg!), can you give me some context? As a scientist, this image is super cool, but you know that a lot of lives were probably wrecked so trying to not get too outwardly excited.
