Understandably closed due to the branches, debris and fallen trees, that litter the landscape to a degree that upon beholding the devastation, a lump forms in your throat. Mother Nature sure did a number on the place. Yesterday local news was reporting that the Park had been re-opened [cbc], mostly because of the loss in tourist revenue. Stanley Park Drive, the perimeter road, was opened up although several trails were still closed off to the public. We decided to walk around one of the barriers blocking our favourite, and most frequently traveling trail. The video documents our finds. This is another video attempt with the Nokia 6682 camera phone, so if you have any comments on the quality (and even the content) please let us know in the comment section.                 [...] [...] We’ve walked around the Park since it was closed several weeks ago [audihertz] after a storm with hurricane-force winds blasted its way through.

It's a mess, not to mention the amount of trees lost and how long it will take to get them all back. It's really sad to see all the damage. The clean up is really going to take a while here.

You'll be surprised how quickly they can harvest all the fallen timber...Portland has had the same issues with windstorms in the past and they clean things up pretty quickly.
