Is everyone OK?
We are fine so to speak..Boat took a hit nothing that cannot be repaired or replaced.. We live in a Historic District .. now missing lots of Big Old Trees.. we lost 7 beauties.. Looks like a war zone for miles and miles in every direction.. Thank You GOD..... TTBOMK No Loss Of Life..
Gen-Set off the WW&S running the neighbors house on minimum power.. at least they have a few lights and the fridge.. Cheap Crap Nosiy but running strong.. I was out at 4:30 filling gen-sets so no one in the neighborhood lost power before day light ..

All good here. Tons of leaves in the pool but no damage. Across street fences and trees down. Patio tables shattered and grills tossed. The Tiki hut held up fine again, posting and drinking from there now.

Hope everyone is all right, wind storms can be crazy here on the West Coast too.
On the lighter side, did anyone try to set a new speed record under sail? A couple years ago we had our largest local sailboat race in a Storm check out South Straits 2010 on youtube for some sailboats in 50+knots with gusts well over 60. There are videos of displacement boats surfing and hitting 20kts under bare spars!
