I have an 80' boom truck to bring it back over but it is pretty jacked up at this point. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.
Sorry to see this mess, Richard. That wind has been brutal. I had no work at my regular job today (due to the weather), so I worked on a side job for an old customer. This afternoon the wind started kicking back up again. Must have been gusting 50 or better. I had three sheets of plywood stacked on saw horses clamped together to cut all three at once. I went inside for a minute and a gust flipped all three off and over into the porch posts. It was then that I decided to abort and G.T.F home!

I still hear it out there kicking it up, and I'm in a pretty sheltered area

Now here is a good weatherman. Not good weather, man. Good weatherman :
