Kaboom
We had a huge storm Friday night.70 MPH gusts. Torrential rainfall. The most lightning strikes I've ever seen from a single storm. 145,000 people lost power, including us. The power was off for 17 hours, and we were lucky--as of today, 25,000 people still don't have power.
If you ever wondered what kind of damage that kind of storm can do to heavily treed areas, here's a sample (from our favorite golf course):
I couldn't put my arms all the way around that trunk.
I'm consistently surprised that the weather up here is so adversarial, but man, it takes a toll on nature and buildings and people. In winter, with its unrelenting persistence, and in summer, with suddenness.
