Small tornado confirmed nearby (not necessarily the cause of sign down)
My 13ft evergreen "christmas tree"(like a juniper tree, up against front of house) that blew down in Charley and we stood back up after 3 days has blown down again, pulled 2 of 3 stakes out of the ground.
I guess I should just leave it. The root ball looks good. I attribute it to saturated ground in combination with the height/fullness of the tree.
Squall passed and crews did the drill..power restored...Surprise from KUA!
The tension level is near unbearable, family already stir crazy, snapping at eachother. Maybe a family game or 2 could help.
I'm keeping busy doing "last minute" laundry cleaning, etc.
Current predictions have us in 75-90mph winds for 8-10 hours tonight.
Charley was frightening, but quick.
Power out for only 4 days here..nearby subdivision 10 days!
Had no water problems then, but I expect them this time.
We still have debris that could fly around.
This is not so frightening in a destructive wind way, but it sure will be a kind of slow, uncomfortable form of torture.
It's gonna be a long night....
