Sorry to post so late but our power was out all around. It went out around 6:30 and came back on around 8 in the am. We all so had tress down do to the high winds. I agree that they should had told us about the high winds instead of thunderstorms. It was all good because we made it a family night.

I can understand the wind factor. I came home about 830 from church and a tree had fallen in my yard from the winds. I only have power in part of my house at the moment due to how the tree fell and it will take a few weeks to get the tree out of the yard. Not sure of any other damage except there is a board or two off my house and a board or two off my shop where electrical wires run from one to the other.

OOPS! That last post should have read "without snow or ice."
