3. How windy is it?
Living on the coast where 35 mph winds are considered "just another day" I'm always curious what other people consider windy.

Stay safe.

6. You should only be in Limbaugh's studio.
Wind of both types, from both orifaces. Hot air and stinky air. You think it's bad listening to it on the radio? Try being there in person.

7. Detroit area: 100,000 without power, downed lines block traffic.
Power lines blocking traffic in Livonia and Dearborn. Also, 14-23 connection is closed? Never heard of this before.

My power is intermittent. Thank goodness for laptops.

Winds are making oaks dance, and large tall pines to sway.

14. Mid Michigan
my street looks like a war zone with downed limbs. Huge gusts last night,
my son got in at 4 oclock, said he'd never seen a wind like this in michigan.

The 14 inches of snow we had is down to bear ground in 3 days.
