It should come as no surprise to anyone within a couple hundred miles of the sound of my voice that yesterday was a windy day. There were sustained gusts of 80-90 mph. The winds started yesterday morning and continued well into the night.

While I was lounging around the house last evening, sipping tea, and worrying that we'd lose power and I wouldn't be able to watch the PBS program Pioneers of Television: Late Night, one of my neighbors had other issues on his mind. We lost a couple sections of fence which I discovered around 11pm when I let the dogs out the back door and then had to let them in the front door a short time later.

Been there, done that, this year especially. It seems every storm that comes in here lately has high winds.
