Alas......at 12:55 PM Pacific time we officially moved back into the 21st century..... My thanks go out to the Honda Co. for their reliable generators.... To Kami Teryaki for their ability to operate in the face of the storm....... To my friends and neighbors who offered up all kinds of stuff! Thanks again......
After this I am ready to go to Florida or points south and rip some lips on some fish!

Personally no, On my paper route a couple tree's fell on houses, no MAJOR Damage cause they were built sturdy.
On the way to my paper route, there was a BRAND NEW Apartment Complex and had 2 average tree's fall down on them and ripped right through the buildings and completely wrecked them.
SHOWS HOW CHEAP SOME CONSTRUCTION IS THESE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

Well we had a long skinny tree come down into our driveway. Missed my moms car by a foot and my truck by 4. I guess our chimney fell off the roof too, I didn't have a chance to look. Anyone have any damage?

Looks like we are gonna get whacked on Thursday/Friday nite so get out and get them awenings lashed down......they say it has the potential to be as bad or worse than the innaugural day storm of '93 and I was cutting trees off houses for 4 days then! and our fire engine got several roof improvements to it!
