Boy!
It's been a while since we had a blow like the one that came through yesterday evening. Our power went out so we lit the oil lamps and some candles, drank some wine and listened to the emergency radio. (Kind of hated to see the power come back on a few hours later.)
A lot of trees and power lines came down and another one of the Shore Pines in front of the house was waving around like a drunken sailor. I don't know what kept it from falling; the ground in a 10 foot area around it was heaving and bulging as the roots pulled out, but it was still there this morning. When it finally falls it will block both lanes of Highway 34. I just hope it doesn't land on anyone.
Things are pretty much back to normal this morning, it's raining but the wind is calm.
Some of the wind gusts yesterday were over 100 mph, so there was probably some damage done during the night that will become apparent when it gets light.
10:30am
Drove up to Newport with Roshelle and took a picture of the ocean on the way back, the surf is wild with 30 foot swells.
