So we're repeating posts in both forums.... mine pasted below as well. lol
I have a suggestion. Even when it's USA Weather forum type weather, it IS winter. So let's use the Winter forum for all of our weather during the winter. Rain, wind, etc. is all technically "winter weather" if it happens in the winter, right? Then we don't have to keep up with 2 forums and repeat ourselves.
I had a little flashlight in my pocket

but fortunately, I didn't lose power either. It was pretty intense for a pretty short time here as well. It rained/stormed a lot off and on all night, in brief bursts, before the squall line arrived, which moved through fairly quickly. It was rather windy as well. During the squall ine, the wind was howling and I heard some racket in the backyard. It sounded like part of my patio roof blew off, but it was still there. lol I think it may have lifted it a little or something. I don't know. There are a few small items in the yard that had been on the patio, but it didn't sound like them blowing around. I haven't ventured outside yet today, but it sure is WET out there! Lots of standing water. Welcome to an El Nino winter, eh?
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!
