I don't think we're in Kansas anymore

[jhetley]

But we weren't in Kansas _before_ the storm hit, so that isn't a problem. I did think we were headed for Canada on a couple of those gusts. Gusts up over 50 mph, with heavy rain, temperatures in the 50s F, all the snow has vanished. No visible damage to our house, a few dead limbs down in the yard. Never lost power. Trash all over the neighborhood -- this morning is the weekly garbage pick-up, and some differently-abled individuals put their trash out last night or even earlier in the week.

Flood watches for the rivers, with the rain and snowmelt and the ground frozen like a rock so nothing soaks in. We're a hundred feet above the nearest water, so I'm easy on _that_. If the river bothers us, we'll have worse things to worry about.
