So ... anyone else get storm damage today?

Not much heat from the frozen 10,000 lakes here, FB. ;) :D

Mr. Rosie, a few years back, realized the folly of telling me, "Don't worry about the house, the family isn't coming to see the house. They're coming to watch football and have birthday cake."

If it weren't for this #&#@ party, my house would probably never get a really good cleaning.

I hate cleaning!

Well, five more minutes then it's time to get back to dusting. :'(

Got back to the office this morning. There's a power pole bent at a 45-degree angle in front of the office, and we lost a few trees from the landscaping.

Worst news of the day is that an elderly woman and her adult daughter were killed next county over when their mobile home was flipped by a hurricane-strength gust.

Well, a train got blown off a bridge and into Sandusky Bay by Cedar Point. One of the train cars that has yet to be found was full of hazardous waste.

In Ohio, that's called "maintaining the status quo."

But at least we're not in Chicago, which I hear resembles a Jack London novel right now.

You heard correctly. Not much snow, but it looked like the Arctic with high winds blowing the snow there was all over the place. Mush, you huskies!

Man, I know hat bridge, the Edison bridge. It is incredibly windy in that spot, and that's not the first time that has happened I'm sure.

Like Lake Erie needs to be more polluted.

They cancelled flights out of Evansville to Chicago last night because of the weather. I assumed it was because of how it was here, and someone said "No, it's on Chicago's end."

My immediate response was, "****. You know it's hardcore when the boys at O'Hare are doing that."

That explains Rambler's thread about being stuck in O'Hare. I'm glad all made it through safe. It is 70 and windy here. I think I saw a bit of dust blow by.

No damage. I had to chain myself and Helen Hunt to a pipe to keep from getting blown away and almost got hit by a flying cow, but things are good.

Surf's up.

Today.

On Lake Ontario

About 90,000 people in Ontario without hydro because of the wind.
