Wow! That wind started yesterday afternoon, and didn't let up till this morning some time. Our old Oaks made it through. Haven't stepped out to take a good look at all the siding and shingles, but I'm willing to bet if nothing happened to me, that someone in our neighborhood got it.

On the flip side........, I had one more round of bagging to do in the front and back for leaves. THey were completely blown away in this storm, and my yard looks as clean as it did before the leaves started to fall.

Cleaned my yard of leaves. To bad my stubborn Maples are holding out a little to long.
A lot of dark homes in places driving to work this morning.

Up here in Rockland MI I have seen a couple trees down. The steeple on the Catholic church has been stripped of some siding. They also had a window broken. Good thing it wasn't one of the stained glass ones. The apts. we manage RaDaPa has the metal roofing coming off. Haven't seen any damage to any of our rentals houses. Pretty breezey. Have had a few flakes of the white gold along with it. The white gold is welcome to come down anytime but sure hope this wind stops soon. Nasty out there.

Suprised we only lost one medium sized limb from one of our maples. Can't believe the worst I saw on my drive to/from work is half a tree that came down. Pretty incredible considering this wind!

Sitting here watching my leaves blow over to the neighbors house, and watching the shingles blow off the house across the street. But the sun is shining for now. life is good!

Couple of branches down here, nothing major. Heard of some trees down a few miles away. Most of my leaves blew away today, that's a good thing.

Had a red pine come down in my yard and I saw a HUGE white pine that was easily 2.5 feet in diameter down.

Roof shingles started to peel away last night. Good thing their is no leaved on the tree's or some of the big ones would have came down. I'm on top of a hill so the wind gusts coming up from the field accelerated the wind. Probably had gusts up to 60+ i'm in Afton mn

Loks like a very large area being affected by high winds. I never lose elec. Good thing, I can see power plant from front yard, bad thing is, I can see power plant from front yard year round.

Power went on and off about 40 times the last 12 hours. Kids 16' wide trampoline (that I thought was anchored still) took off out of the yard, sailed through the air about 25' up and over some trees and a swampy area landing about a 100 yards from its original spot. Upside down in some 12' tall pines. It was a 2 hour project getting it back!!! lol

Still blowin about 25 with gusts to 35+ here on the sunrise side of Michigan.

Spent an hour rescrewing the roof tin on one of our sheds at work this morning. Pretty minor I guess but still sucked going from warm bed to freezing *** on top of a roof in the wind ha ha..... Hope everyone is ok. One other thing I should mention is that my main tractor factory (the cnh plant in Racine WI) was damaged heavily and is delaying shipment on a bunch of tractors that I have sold but that is small fries.....
