Wind Storm 2010

wOw! The Northeast/East Coast of the US sure has been hit this winter. We haven't had as much snow as some of the cities to the south (weird, I know! Global warming, anyone?) But we had a horrible wind/rain storm here Thursday and Friday! My power went out Thursday night at 11pm and only just came back on Saturday about noon.... luckily it wasn't too cold outside so we managed okay.

But look at some of these trees that were knocked down in the area...There were wind gusts reported over 70 MPH!! I am lucky to have power at all!

  4. In the summer we had a tree come down on our house during a windstorm. I am SO frightened now when there are high winds. I'm glad you are safe and that your power has been restored.
