Alive and well...we were without power until late yesterday. The winds sure were whipping here, and many of our neighbors have trees on the roof or on cars. Fortunately I bought a few bags of ice prior to the storm's arrival, so we survived without any major loss of food and with no damage to property.

It was scary for awhile though.

Are you in State College, or just a fan? My BIL in Harrisburg reported just wind and not much else going on. We seemed to catch it worse further east, since we caught the storm earlier while it was still stronger.

After we clean up our two downed trees (the 3rd was back by the stream where we'll just let it rot), we're in for a strategic consideration of which trees to remove before more storms hit. We're sick to death of 100 foot trees falling in storms. We're up to 9 fallen tulip poplars in less than 10 years, and that's not counting the 15 or so we've removed for other reasons. Getting expensive, and our insurer already replaced our roof once.
