Just one photo from The Park at Flat Rock, a converted golf course now a very nice walking park in, yes, Flat Rock NC.

All the trails are again open after #Helene and most of the destruction is not as visible (a couple of piles of large tree trunks remain, plus the mess here along King Creek.)

It makes a nice hour-long wander when one just needs a flat surface. Cold this morning, so little company.

City of Houston creates storm debris collection map as Beryl debris fills streets

All six neighborhood depositories are open for residents to drop off their storm debris. Any debris placed form the sidewalk toward the property will not be picked up.
