For once, Metro was an innocent victim of nature blowing things into its right-of-way, rather than the cause of a problem.  I'd say they handled the matter as well as could be expected.

Meanwhile, since my path home was clogged up, I ended up hitting the bars with my coworkers on Friday night.  Yay me.

Has anyone been able to catch word of which 6000-Series car was the one that got struck?  Looks like some minor front-end damage, but the number is not readable in any photos I've seen.
