Now a Tropical Storm. Took these in the back yard; As you can see, very little down for clean up. The sound is much louder than in the video.

The sound is much louder than in the video. Watch neighbor's white birch go almost flat. And see the "wind" ripple along the grass.

Wow, that is some wind.:eek: It feels like I'm right there in it.

That wind is strong enough to blow the pups away. They didn't want to
go outside did they?

I've been going out and staying with them. It was just prior to this I had them out and gust hit, wish I'd had the camera! All faced in to the wind and hunkered down, ha haaa. It isn't raining just now, so they "thought" it was fine out!

luckily no one was hurt and nothing was damaged... but the tree split into three and there is a huge branch hanging precariously over their driveway. I don't know how they are going to get that thing down.

Great photo~! I hate when these things "go bump" in the night! Glad we had THIS one in daylight.

Wow!:eek: I'm surprised that you were able to take this video without getting blown away. I hope that the winds have died down a bit by now.

Still getting gusts to 50 mph; should all be fine by 9 PM, and dry air on the way, they are saying we can have a nice sleep tonight, open all the windows get all this humidity out.
