So the storm passes over us.
It is raining.
There is wind.
We have a few downed limbs, including some that have crashed onto our metallic roof.
Our side yard now has a pond.
We have power, at least so far. It may take much of the day to pass.
Benjamin and Alison are home, with school called off for both student and staff.
I don't work on Fridays, so I don't know whether Higginson & Paulk is open or not, I have heard of some business losing.
It is accelerating. Alison was on our screened-in porch when she just saw a major limb from a neighbor's pecan tree fly off and land in their yard. She came in when limbs off our oak tree started
to hit the porch roof.
I hope all my friends and family in this area stay safe. I hope, except for essential personnel, that your employer is smart enough to let you stay home. And God Bless and keep those first responders safe.
I will update this post as circumstances and electricity allows.
UPDATE:
This stick fell and stabbed itself into the ground. Glad I wasn't underneath it when it happened, or I'd be daggered.
Our pile of debris that we accumulated after the storm had passed.
All in all, more of a moderate storm than a hurricane or even tropical storm. We experienced no power outages, no tornadoes, just a many downed limbs - none of which hurt home, people or pets.
