Today has been another gray day with misty conditions. I spent quite a while on the Huey P. Long Bridge this afternoon creeping slowly. The bridge has 4 very narrow lanes two on either side of a railroad track. When traveling at very slow speeds you can feel the bridge shake. I usually drive this span with two hands on the wheel and very few distractions. Usually the lights of the city are visible from the bridge. I snapped this while stopped for a few very brief moments near the top of the span.

My day had an interesting start - as I approached the school where I work I noticed Entergy trucks lining the road There was a huge tree that had toppled over in the night from a combination of the many inches of rain that fell over the last 2 days and strong winds. It had taken down most of the utility lines, which meant no electricity. Electricity was restored around 9:15, just when the kids were arriving at school.
