We had a front blow through yesterday about five o'clock.
The squall line dropped rain by the bucket load and had straight line wind gusts in excess of 70 miles per hour. It took out two huge trees at the edge of our woods. The one you can see here was over 70 feet tall and had a trunk about four feet in diameter.
It also took out power to the neighborhood, and as of now (11:45) it is still out. The light crews are out there working, so it shouldn't be much longer.
Our generator has been running for the last 18 hours, so we are fine - but I'm thinking of all those houses with children who were already going nuts because of the Covid-19 protocols. They must be going through Hell with no TV, no internet, etc.
