>>>*Well, it got us this time. Our outside storage/laundry shed used to have a roof.

Now the roof is in the middle of our hayfield. I went out and gathered up what I could and stacked it on the downwind side but the temperature is dropping so fast I couldn't stay out there very long. The big garage held up, that is where my z06 Corvette is stored. The main house did fine, too. We lost power again, that is 7 times this year so far.

One serious storm after another this year, they said on the news this last one was only around 40 mph here inland, I think they were off a tad. We had gusts last night closer to 70 here, and they reported 93 at Newport where our other place is.

At this point we don't even know if our other house is still there, I talked to Mom and she said this one came in from the Southeast down at Newport, that is bad news for our place down there. More free firewood I guess, we must have had 100 trees down already, probably more now.

Storms from the Southeast are rough on us, that almost never happens here. Maybe this is part of that global warming stuff???....*EB
