We lucked out, compared to the poor people with shattered houses and, the ~180 dead human beings...

Went outside at daybreak to chainsaw the limbs and trees down across the drive, so we can get out today.

Up here, most of the trees have not leafed out yet, so the resistance the towering oaks, et al, could put up, was lessened; thus, not as bad as it would have been a few weeks from now.

Checked on a couple neighbors, and our resident weather nut said the high wind speed on his anemometer was 82 mph.

Have lived up here for ~ 10 yrs and, even the 'Canes we have had have never shaken the house so badly. The gusts were incredible and the constant change of wind direction gave this coop a thorough azz shaking. Wasn't a fun night, but it pales to those who woke up to destruction or, losing their people.

Hope everyone reading came through ok...stuff can get fixed.
