How are you faring in the wind? January 05, 2008

The picture in todays blog is the remains of our east fence. All 72 feet of it blew over, some panels flew into the neighbors built in pool, which is 20 feet from the property line.

The semiofficial wind reading local was a gust about 10:20 that clocked at 72 MPH; my brother says where he is in the mountains, it hit 92, and up on the summit over 100.

The temperature has been in the 40's, but the wind and last couple of days of heavy rain have produced a lot of uprooted trees, many falling on cars and houses.

This afternoon it finally stopped raining...for awhile.
