Winds here are now topping 60 mph. There is a gigantic 120-year-old maple tree on city property in front of my house, creaking. Terrifying, honestly.

it wouldn't hurt my feelings if the tree comes down (not on my house!), we continually ream out our sewer of tree roots. It gives no shade, it's north of the house. We've asked the city annually for the past 21 years to at least trim it. They have other priorities.

Wind topping 70mph now. Lights flickering. I'd much rather have a blizzard.

Sirens going off, bye!

My family is in the Flint, MI, area so I've been keeping an eye on what's going on.

We're under a high wind warning until 4AM. 30-40 mph with gusts to 50+ mph. It was into the 60's today (temp). It's going to probably get close to freezing tonight.

I'm not going anywhere.
