Horrible winds hitting Flint, MI, today.
Gusts in excess of 60 mph are being reported. I heard a loud, frightening thump on the side of my house so I went out to investigate. I didn't find any damage, but the winds sound like a 747 is about to land in my back yard.
There are almost 70 weather related 911 reports, right now and the Consumer's Energy outage page isn't even reporting, right now, probably because it is so overwhelmed.
On the bright side, at least the sun is out.
Hoping for some good thoughts. My fingers crossed I get through this without losing power. Or trees.

It is pretty bad here, as well. I keep looking at the large tree outside my window. 
I wonder if the reason my part of the county is still spared is, after the ice storm knocked out power in my area, for a week, the utility company had to do so much clean up, repair and replacement, the lines and poles are just a little more secure. Hopefully I will stay out of the dark, but we are going to double check the generator, just in case.
This is just a 3 county area - Genesee, Shiawassee and Oakland.
