Wet and Windy Ernesto Whips Noise

(CLICK TO ENLARGE) The remnants of Tropical Storm Ernesto and an umbrella dampened H and 8th Streets NE Saturday, Sept. 2, 2006. The wind and rain was enough to keep the usual noisemakers from setting up their stage and amplifier near the intersection’s bus stop, pictured in the background. Sunday brought much more pleasant weather, as well as Rev. Dallas Williams, who, during the occasional Sunday, preaches for an about an hour with a much quieter amplifier. He also politely reduces the volume when neighbors ask. (Copyright © 2006. David Klavitter)
