A lot of the initial photos and news immediately after the storm focused on the Forest Park area, but make no mistake -- this storm walloped north city. At least 16 calls for collapsed buildings, all of them north of Delmar.

Backyard chicken power rankings, early summer '25

4. Cupcake
5. Bert
6. Bebe
7. Betty
Big moves from Charlotte this round. Sparkle's been pushed off to the second roost bar, but still seems to hold status. Cupcake slid because she is dumb even by chicken standards
