Post-apocalyptic Lincoln

Over at Lincolnite.com, Mr. Wilson posted about the 9th anniversary of the October 97 blizzard.

I was living in England when that hit, and I remember going to the computer lab and loading up the Daily Nebraskan website, as I occasionally did, and being greeted with this photo (thanks to Quentin for finding it):

I thought Lincoln had been bombed or something. Many interesting stories came out of that week or so with no power and toppled trees. Mr. Wilson’s blog post includes a link to a site with quite a few more photos as well.
