1. Wow. That's really bad.
We have severe winds here, too. It's loudly howling all around the farm house. All I've seen today, so far, is two downed trees.

Be careful out there. :scared:

5. My dear CreekDog!
It's been quite windy here too...

But not as bad as for you guys!

I've seen lots of downed palm fronds and bits of branches, but not any whole trees, much less trucks!:scared:

It's supposed to calm down by tomorrow...

The Santa Monica Bay is very pretty what with all the white caps!

:hi:
