The wind was impressive.  I stumbled back a step a couple of times
when a blast caught me unprepared while waiting by Beehive.   At
Grand, more than a dozen things blew onto the platform from the
benches, but the wind moderated the warm sun.

I believe I saw a work crew headed to Grand as it erupted, hopefully
to fix the bench that tipped over earlier this week.  A dumptruck of
soil was parked by Castle, and some of the abrupt pavement edges have
been filled.  A work crew was at Black Sand Basin as I arrived at
about 0630.  The parking lot there was closed, but had been reopened
by the time I left (after Grand).  I did not investigate what was
done.
