Well, I survived ;) But dang! I really am not usually a wuss when it comes to weather. I'm not joking when I say I've never seen anything like that wind last night. It did settle down and it was pretty windy for the rest of the night, but nothing like the two half hour or so bursts of what had to be hurricane force winds. The tree by my parking space made it, luckily for me. Surprisingly there weren't too many downed branches, but when I went out this morning I discovered that this high wooden fence that separates the complex's parking lot from the empty lot next door was completely trashed - 2/3 of it is splattered on the ground and the rest is hanging in shreds. Day-um. Luckily there were no cars parked there - it's the fire zone.
Not much wind happening now, but it's gone down to the high 30s/low 40s, when yesterday it was close to 60 even with the rain! Stupid weather.
