A Big Change, In the Weather That Is

Yesterday evening it started misting and drizzling rain. Then the rain increased in tempo until it was pounding on the roof. Last night we were awoken several times from the noise of the rain beating on the roof. Then the wind really increased and the power went  out several times. This morning we woke to this...

 

 

This is looking out the front door. You can't see it now but there is a road about 150 feet in front of that tree. The wind is gusting up to 45 miles per hour and the power is still flashing on and off. The news says that traffic is a real m****r f****r. Now I have to get ready to leave. My job doesn't pay enough to pay the deductable on my insurance so, wish me luck!
