The damage was immense. Entire buildings moved from one spot to another. The drugstore in K Mart's lot. K Mart blown into the river. Trader Joe's slammed into a mountainside. A hair salon blown into a palm readers home. An entire strip mall vanished. The police station sandwiched between DPW and a firehouse. A bus depot went flying into a Marriot hotel .Boy Scouts on a camping trip lost their tents and scoutmaster who was found in a dumpster.
All the municipal offices were squashed into pancakes. Dogs and cats may still be air born. A Best Buy wound up blocking the flooded highway and Geek Squad members wandered around in a daze.
The library was demolished, leaving several librarians blown into a giant sign advertising homemade fritters.
A few days later the local high school football team played in front of 10000 citizens because, miraculously, the field was untouched. Football heals all wounds.
