Power to the people!

Air temperature 57 F, wind north 28 mph gusting to 40, raining. "Lee" is now considered to be a post-tropical cyclone, although still delivering hurricane-force winds. 80 mph as of 0500 hrs this morning and still aimed at the western tip of Nova Scotia. We still have power and have not seen any personal damage.

And, in other news

Saw a jogger and bicyclist heading up the street together. In this storm. Dedication? Addiction? Use of psychoactive substances? Your guess is as good as mine.

Some trees down in the neighborhood, including a large old willow in the park broken off. Looks like Old Man Willow won't be trapping hobbits anytime soon.

Wind seems to be slackening a bit. Power out across the park, with a tree down and voltage with it. Still raining. Starting to get water in the basement.

Not raining at the moment, wind gusts down to 30 mph. Power still out across the park, although I can hear a generator running.
