This is a pretty hard storm. Winds are still around 30 MPH sustained. But it's died down a bit. Last year Hurricane Sandy put a much harder hit on us. Took our Trampoline and sent it flying into the house. Destroyed it completely. Also took a wall down on my enclosed porch. The worst is behind us... Or so they say. The biggest/worst part passed long ago. Hope all turns out o.k. at the homestead Pete. Stay safe and stay inside.
Thanks Dex you stay safe too. I am to scarred to load the stove too it's rattling like a freight train right now....
And there goes the power too. Wow this is getting interesting. I just saw my metal ash bin lift off and fly away I'll probably never see that one again. Currently running off the phone.
We've been having similar up here Pete, but I don't think as bad. Most of it's gone through... Be safe, and I hope those branches don't do any damage.
I would get the family in the safest part of you home and stay put. I know you will have to remain vigilant to make sure there isn't a fire or something else. But that big maple isn't anything you can do anything about now. Just stay out of its way.
Definitely loading up one of the saws for this morning's drive to work. 55 miles with lots of back roads. Bound to find some btu's blocking my path.
The wind has picked up here. Saws are already in one truck. Maybe I'll move one over to the little truck.
Yup we have been in the basement for a while but after today she just has to sleep. I sat up waiting for the siren pretty much all night.
We made it through the night but boy what a mess outside ! It looks terrible trees and garbage everywhere.
My antenna is in 10000000 pieces the garage windows are smashed in back ! One of the trees out front is all but destroyed and I have no idea where the ash bin went. Here is the funny part the fence in the back yard kept the back yard looking pretty much the same. Like a storm wall.
