IN: I ended up with a large freezer bag filled with murdered , thawing rodents . Huzzah!Then I drove around Uptown taking pictures of absent friends ' houses so I could email them and hopefully give them a little peace of mind that their castles were intact .

What caused the debris and power outage ?

OUT:
A heavy wind / rainstorm that passed by quickly .
