Wife and I went out for dinner tonight, noticed an odd thing we've never seen before in recent memory: work crews were scouring every major intersection and taking down all but 1 redlight for each direction of traffic. Darnest thing I've ever seen. Pull up to a redlight, and there's only 1 light hanging off the lines. Every intersection on the south side of town that we saw (around Shepherd Rd. area of town).

Guess that they're solving two problems at once: 1) get rid of excess projectiles in case of potential 100+mph winds, 2) get a healthy supply of replacement lights if there are badly hit areas that lose all of their signal lights.

Just a really eerie thing to see the work crews dismantling the lights. Makes you realize they aren't kidding about this. Heck, they didn't even do this for Charley, back when they were thinking Charley could plow into us directly....
