Our power is back on. Was only out a few hours. The daughter in ft Wayne says half the city is still out from Friday, not expected to be back up until Wednesday. They better hurry, a gazillion Goldwings are almost there for wing ding!
This is the first storm I didn't go out onto the porch to look for tornadoes. There were too many branches flying sideways and I didn't feel like going to work with my wife so she could get a stick out of my gut. (ER nurse)
Having no anemometer, but having been in a ton of storms out in the Pacific, I pegged the winds here at about 80 mph sustained gusts to 95ish. My wife was scared, and I was almost there when I was taking video out the window in our 3.75 season room and the wall of Windows I was leaning on started to "breath" I just slowly stepped back into the main house and waited for that room to blow away. My wife went and cracked a few Windows open to equalize the pressure....
There were 1.5 to 2 foot waves crashing over the side of our pool. Tried to get video of that, but it was too far away and too nasty out for my phone to capture...
