Our development looks like tree branches exploded everywhere. I had to drive over to my brother's house and the wind was really pushing the van. I can't imagine trying to get over a bridge in those winds.

Stay safe! I saw we were all under the high wind advisory until 6pm tomorrow.

Fortunately, nothing serious right here (that I can tell at least,) and haven't lost power ('yet.')
