The answer is blowin' in the wind

We got our promised storm all right, over 3 inches of rain in a 12 hour period and gusts of wind over 40 mph. Actually, I haven't seen any wind damage to our place but there are several incidents of tree limbs down that will make it interesting for going home this evening. It took Carolyn an hour and a half to travel what usually takes 20 minutes because a tree had fallen over one of the freeway exits. We definitely had 40 mph winds but fortunately they came in gusts so the trees generally had some tine to recover before the next gust. The only damage I saw on Max Court was our oak tree dropping lots of little branches. When she got home Carolyn filled our green waste garbage container with alll the branches so that gives you some idea about how much fell.

I took a small movie clip but I can't seem to get my service provider's software to upload it to blogger. I've either got to get a camera that takes a different format of movie or a program that converts movies.

  1. Glad you came out ok with the wind. Carolyn's drive home didn't sound too fun, though. We had lots of wind yesterday and still today, but just the neighbor's leaves are collecting all over our driveway. No limbs down.
