Thanks, Grog! Glad you're ok too, and you too suzieq and Quillfred. Hope the other PNW area women and families are doing ok as well.

Ya know...I'm hopelessly addicted to weather watching, and been a Weather Network Extreme Weather Team observer for years...seen many awsome storms. This is the first one where I can say I was truly frightened. In my back yard, there is a branch 10-12ft long by 2-3 inches thick, driven over a foot into the ground by the wind. Looks like a new tree suddenly sprouted there.
I was standing in that exact spot only moments before.
