So I managed to make that drive to Ralls to view the aftermath of the recent storm, and I did it without being too depressed. I have to learn how to be alone, painful as it is. And I took my spanking new/used Canon SX100 from eBay to see how it might work for me.
You can't miss the damage. This is what greeted me as I drove into town on 62/82. The turnoff into Floydada was barricaded and traffic lanes were blocked and I could not have proceeded on 62/82 to Crosbyton. A detour would have been necessary.
I pulled over to photograph this stuff, then entered Ralls. I was in Ralls a few years ago with my wife and I remembered how little there was to photograph in Ralls. We did the grand tour, then, of Lorenzo, Ralls, Crosbyton.
These towns, in my humble opinion, are pathetic. They just get worse.
Downtown Ralls. I found some damage there. Broken windows, mostly.
Broken windows and glass on the sidewalks and in the streets. Lots of debris and gravel and mud in the streets as well due to flooding.
The zoom works well! This camera will be useful. More next time.
