So worried for them

It got extremely rough between 01:00 & 04:30, 80+ mph constant winds with higher gusts, then it pushed past us...have not been out to assess yet. But power is out now.

Glad you are safe, hope you get power back soon.

Your comment about the skylight almost being sucked out had me worried. They say it’s not necessary the wind that can tank off a roof, it’s the pressure change when there is a breach (broken window).

Glad you are safe!

Few pics from around my building, was barefoot and just doing quick assessment, will get more pics later...winds have picked back up to 35-40 mph...back side of storm getting close.
Water line from flooding last night, sidewalk is from my front door.

Tree down across entrance to my parking lot, missed the build by inches, I am at the other end of the building from where the top of the tree is now.

The 14 hour power out cost me a lot of animal lives, I now have a mini petrol genie just for the tank. Keep it fizzing.

They are a little larger than I'd like, but have some good surface agitation and water movement because of them. The whole rig I'm using is pieced together, had to McGuyver it together (somebody forgot to get D Cell batteries yesterday while he was at Home Depot)
