Didn't take any pics today - we're done cleaning and ready for Dad with the carpet cleaner tomorrow.

We're going out now, for a bit... gonna go out for some pizza.

We've had WIND today... much higher gusts (40) than the supposed windstorm when you were here... The yard is littered with little branches. No BIG limbs down though.

I'm hearing about power outages all over... east of here I think... closer to the mountains. Dona said that the cable was out here almost all day. Just came on before I got here.

We had a wild day today, too. There were gusts up to 40mph. When I was on my way to get Joseph at school this afternoon, I saw two HUGH trees down on Main St. One was leaning against another tree, and the other had fallen and was being held up by some power lines. No one had called it in, yet, so it must have just happened. 20 mins later, when we were on the way back home, the power crews and police were there. The trees' entire root systems had just come out of the ground and they had fallen over. These were Norway spruces and they must have been 30' tall each!
