Aftermath of a Storm

After the storm passed, the sky had cleared and the sun was shining brightly. However, the damage left behind was evident. Trees were snapped and uprooted, roads were blocked by debris, and houses had suffered significant damage. People were assessing the situation and trying to figure out what to do next.
