wow, sounds rough up there. i haven't seen any downed trees here as yet, but haven't been out and about much either.
so far two people killed in tx/la from the storm, but another is missing. one lady had a tree fall on her house, on her bed and killed her. the other was a 16 yo boy in la-fell out of a boat and drowned.
the guy who is missing is a texan, swept off a jetty. the coasties are looking for him, but i would think he's lost.

Wind was brutal all over Kentucky today. They have cancelled school in some counties in the western part of the state due to trees that have blown down (power outages and road blockage).

roughly 600k still without power in the tri-state area. I am currently hanging out at the in-laws as they were lucky enough to not have a problem.
reports were 80 mph gusts, they even closed the airport for a while yesterday. We're hoping to have power by tomorrow a.m., but they are saying it could be a week for some. Craziest damn wind I have ever seen around here.
I now have a greater appreciation for people that go through hurricanes because it doesn't look so bad on T.V..
