Several smaller pieces of trees blown down, and a couple broken fenceposts down here in suburbia. Give me something to do when it gets nice again. Fence probably almost 30 years old, time to replace anyway.
Winds were really wild overnight. I have a blue recycle bin that's about 4' tall and 1.5' square and thought I had it secured but it's gone. We looked 1/4 mile in each direction and it's nowhere to be seen. Maybe it will show up on Nextdoor.
Tree branches all over the place but nothing crazy. The tile guys doing my bathroom left their saw outside on its stand and it barely moved, they're lucky.
Power was supposed to be restored at noon but didn't come on until 8:30. They shut off 55,000 people but an additional 100,000 lost power so it turned into a big problem. Twitter was peak Twitter with the, "The winds are gone, just flip the switch." through "That ****** Polis punishing us conservatives." to "This is how they control the sheeple by cutting power for 'safety'."
