(30,884 posts)8. It's weird to see reporters standing on an empty Mt. Auburn St.

(29,414 posts)11. It reminds me of Houston after Hurricane Rita missed us in 2005.
(Most of the region evacuated and then had disasters on the routes due to panic.)

especially eerie. I have never seen it so empty. On a clear spring day it should be alive with people going here, there and everywhere.
