This is just a quick note to let family and friends know that we have weathered our wind storm quite well, all things considered. Our neighborhood, along with most of the city, is without power, and several trees are down, but thankfully no trees hit our house. Last night, when we learned the storm was coming, we hurried to get all the lumber, insulation, and other materials into the house (feeling quite a bit like Ma & Pa hurrying to get the hay in before the cyclone), and managed to get about half of it stored before the power went out. After finding our flashlights we were able to finish the job. Grandma and Grandpa have power, so we’re camping out with them for the time being, and hoping our power is restored this evening. Check out the gallery to see photos of downed trees and damage around our neighborhood.
ETA: We’re happy to report that the lights (and heat!) came back on late this afternoon. Most of the trees have been removed from the streets in our neighborhood as well, but there is still a lot of debris to contend with.
