Power Outages

There were such high winds today with 60+ mph gusts. My stepfather works at a local supermarket which lost power for about 6 hours. Over 2,000 people were out of power in the area and we lost power for a short period of time. I was told there was a lot of damage and debris in the streets and the winds, at one point, surpassed hurricane winds. We did not sustain much damage, but the boat was blown off its blocks in the yard and there are a lot of branches down. I had to run outside periodically throughout the day to catch things blowing around, like buckets, and secure them again. 

The temperature started at 63°F and ended at around 35°F. The cats were scared of the noise of falling branches on the roof. And then there were the two humans running to the window when there was a crash and/or a huge rush of wind.
