More heavy weather today. I haven't watched the news, so I don't know if there were tornadoes this time. But it was pouring cats and dogs, and the wind was crazy. I was at the office until 8:30 PM waiting for the storm to pass, and around 6:30 or 7:00, a guy came on the P.A. system and advised everyone to get away from the windows and lobbies because 100 MPH gusts had been reported in the area. He actually made the announcement twice (not twice in one go, but about 15 minutes apart, because the gusts came and went and came back). The power flickered out twice, and I could hear the wind howling and frequent thunder.
It downed a large tree in the parking lot, and when I left work, there were branches everywhere and the occassional downed tree, and power was out in patches.
Joy of joys!
