Made it through okay. Finally lost power for good after midnight. Had to stay up late as wind gusts much stronger than expected because eye came up over middle of peninsula.

Great news!!! Our power is still out too. We are usually fortunate to get it back quickly. Crossing fingers...

Yeah...how bout that last minute change in direction? It was a howler no doubt. So glad you’re ok.

Now for the clean up:) I’ve been out hauling some huge branches off sidewalk, more to dissipate my nervous energy than being a good woman! I was doing this when a young family strolled by. Dad, maybe 35, two boys, 9-12 ish. They stood and WATCHED for a bit, then the boys jumped in and began helping. On their own. Dad continued to watch. I made sure those boys knew they were doing the right and grown man thing. While Dad watched.
