I was there a week after the storm. They were ready, and advertising, for tourists but were still cleaning up in the downtown area. The interstate was still bordered with sand washed down from the hill. The lake was red from the iron in the flood waters that had washed in and there were whole uprooted trees floating just offshore.
My wife and I were also there just a week ago. In the tourist areas, we saw no sign that anything had happened. We did have to take a detour to our destination due north of town, many culverts are being replace with bridges in case a storm like this comes through again.

It looks as if joining the HCC Dec challenge wasn't such a bad idea:

Hi everybody, I joined the team in all projects.

On a GPU note, I think my new ati 7770 is dying. When I boot I have video for about 15 minutes then no screen. And this is without crunching on it. <sigh> I bought it on Amazon and I have a prime membership so it will be easy to return. It's just a shame electronic these days have such bad quality control.
