And here I thought that we had bad storms here - I'm in the Northeast (NE NY) and we've has some rough ones, including just this week with teeming rain, wind and thunder, lost power briefly. And just last week, we were also hit, branches down all over and even a few uprooted trees. Such storms, especially in the winter, aren't uncommon in these parts. My Dad was manager of te local power company, so I often had a front row seat. I remember the worst one when I was a kid, we had to evacuate (except for my poor Dad) when the power was out for days and there was widespread damage.
But it looks like this one dwarfs ours, yikes! Glad to hear that you and the pups are okay and thanks for checking in...
