I hope yiur dad is safe...and forgive my selfishness, but I also hope all the work you did on the driveway and landscaping was not destroyed!

Dad's fine, thanks, and he only lost 1 shrub from a downed limb in the landscape. The walk/drive are unscathed, but were littered with limbs and tree debris. He said it wasn't "as bad as the Ardennes Forest"; his usual understatement, if you know from history what that hellish bombardment in the BoTB was like. He had some breakers tripped, and AC was out, so I reset them to avert his calling-in an electrician. I called him ahead of the storm's initial blast last evening, and told him to get the lapper and TV shut down quickly. It was brutal here for 15-20 mins. He and the neighbors are back-up and running just fine.

Typical damage:
