Just spent an hour and a half restating a bottle brush tree, the post split at the base, had a spare piece of aluminum, used that and 4 diagonal rope stakes to hold it up. Neighbor had one go over and it actually split the tree trunk.

Well we just found in a few hours,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the light rain to take a walk, the light winds to cool it off, the overcast skies to blot out the sun. We just had a short term experience as when formerly living in Oregon,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, November thru May.

Thanks Golfgirl122 for starting this thread. A little nerve wracking being so far away and listening to national reports and watching radar that made it seem way worse then it was inland. Appreciate the updates from all and what seems like minimal impact in TV.

Thanks, as you can see, it's still a bit gusty every now and then, but the serious stuff is over. I've been in your shoes and have been out of town and wondering/worrying about what's going on here in TV and the national news - well, it's too national. Thanks to all who reported events happening out your window. The rest of you, hurry back to TV - you're missing all the fun!!

I agree, I tried a few times to look at the webcams of the Squares.
Either they weren't operational, or the demand was too great.

Yes, we are truly blessed.
