Final weather report of the day.
Winds were up to sustained winds of 65 knots, gusts of up to 90 knots. Around the city, fences are down, aluminum siding gone, some roofs have been damaged. Building signs completely gone. Several injuries and the news is saying one death, but no details so I don't know how directly related.
We in the Debio household are physically fine, the house is fine, the dog pooped on the floor in fear, but that is all for the house. My wife, on the way home from work, ended up in a rice paddy. Literally. She had to call the insurance, then the police, then a tow truck. She is completely uninjured and is more annoyed with the bill than anything else.
Too bad she takes things like this so seriously, I could have teased her for 30 years about this. But I won't tease folks who actually get hurt if I do. Especially her. She's special.
She ended up in the rice paddy because half the roads were closed, and all but one bridge. She works on the other side of the river. The back road she was using was barely wide enough for her car, it was dark, rainy and of course windy. Then suddenly it ends, dead ends. She tried doing the back and fill thing to turn around, and the side collapsed and she ended up driving right into the paddy.
