Nice day here today,too. Kinda weird. Sorry about your rudbeckia.

The only evidence outside in my yard that there was ever a storm at all is that our lake is a good 2-3' higher (l.r pic is either some ornamental grass that my neighbor planted or some junk that planted itself...either way under water) my roses are fine, still have buds on my clematis. u.r. is a pic from the local paper. there are 5 parks in Buffalo designed by Frederick Law Olmstead - they say there is damage to at least 90% of the maples, oaks and ashes that were part of Olmstead's vision for these parks. so sad. now that the snow is melting it's the outward evidence of the intensity. but the people will recover faster than the trees.
