Anyway, when I going to work, I had to fight high winds behind the storm.  Bad enough that when we crossed the bridge I was really worried about being blown off of it.  When I got to work, I found that some people were not going to have a very good day.  As you can see in the picture, those are limbs off of a tree.  Those were broken off of many of the pines that were getting blown into the oak and sadly, were breaking/denting peoples cars.  Luckily (or smartly) I did not park under trees when it is windy so nothing happened to me.

It will be ‘interesting’ to drive back home.  The winds are supposed to keep up tonight.
