Good lord.. .

Looking nice! .

Power has been out since 8:30 yesterday. Lots of damage across the county here. Not sure on rain amounts. Most fell before the wind came in. Highest gust was 42.1 at my house . .

41.2 is the highest gust so far. Took a drive and lots of trees and limbs down. Power went out about 30 mins ago. Crazy .

What kind of wind are you getting?

So right! LA can not get a break this season. .
