Trees down everywhere here and no power. Wind did not feel as strong on cape at work as it is here.

Going over the Newport bridge this morning. A truck almost flipped over right in front of me. Scary stuff. Then later a truck did flip.

Wind is really ramping up around here. Emergency alert asking all to stay inside and off roads. Police station on emergency generator and there are more than a dozen areas in town with trees/wires down, lost power, or both. They are bringing in outside tree services to assist. I had a high of 81 mph on anemometer before cups flew off.... Going to be a doozy of a night... Good luck to all and stay safe

Imagine if the harbor was full of boats. No, actually let’s not even think about that.

Imagine if the trees had leaves on them.
So they closed the Newport Pell bridge, 1st a car crash, then a truck rollover. So, I have to go all the way around, only to find a tractor trailer rollover on the Braga Bridge. Half hour commute turned into two hours to get home to a house without power. Reached for the Knobs Creek. Then heard a thud. Giant oak tree falls in the backyard. And an hour later, a giant oak in my front yard fell across the cul-de-sac. Town sent out three trucks with chain saws and a giant front end loader with backhoe to clear the street.

Still out here in Plymouth hope it comes up soon, so I don't have to start searching for ice to salvage two refrigerators full of can't replace goodies (sea bass and tog). We haven't lost power in probably 4 years, so we never really felt the need to invest in a generator, but I'm going to drive over to her moms cottage soon to see if there is power there. If there is I will power up the upright freezer in case I need to move things.
John why does my post from 7:31am this Saturday morning say today, 12:31PM?
