Two of the great big huge trees in the back were completely
uprooted...one took off right into a wood fence and obliterated it
before it finally toppled over. The other almost went through my back
window, but luckily was caught by the roof overhang and just settled
on the back porch. Most of the roof shingles are...well, about three
counties away by now. In the front a lot of the tops of the more
spindly trees just snapped right off like match sticks, lucky nothing
hit any of my cars, but others weren't so lucky. We finally just got
power about an hour ago, after being without for nearly 12 hours (and
for someone like me that's just like having to go through withdrawal).
I guess it wasn't as bad in Walla Walla as it was here in MF.
Tomorrow I'll drive by the new house, make sure it's still standing.
I don't know what they're gonna do about all the destroyed trees...a
lot of 'em wound up in the middle of the road. Everything that was
outside is gone too, I had some planters, a lil mini barbeque, a
couple lawn chairs...gone...probably half way to Albuquerque by now.
I'm just glad we have power back on. I guess it's been nasty storms
all over the west coast today, from hurricane force winds (like we had
here) to snow storms.
I have learned that two of the most important things to have when you
don't have power are glowsticks and self heating drinks. Lots of
batteries and a GameBoy also help. ^_^
