I've cut every tree that could be a threat to the house. I got a couple of monster pine trees out back that might come down if this keeps up but nothing is in the path of them.

I'm quite sure there's trees down all over the place.

We get a lot of winds here and up north and if I’m in the woods when the winds come I get the hell out of there….it’s a good time to go to the beach and watch the surf. �Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth.

Did you get any of the heavy stuff? Got a bit of rain. But not enough to kick the sump pump on. The wind is a handful, however. I've been watching the local news and there's a lot of damage done.
