We experienced a "microburst" last night.  Prolonged winds between 85-90 mph.  Rain blowing sideways.  Power out most of the night.  I lost a few shingles, found stuff that isn't mine in my 7 foot high walled-in back yard.  Big chunks of palm tree bark in my yard and I don't have palm trees.

Trees down all over the neighborhood.  Big limbs off huge trees.  Paloverdes with their entire root balls up on the ground.  The vegetable  plants I bought yesterday (unplanted) strwen about but seem okay.  People's backyard sheds no longer in their backyards.  Loose dogs.....what a mess......have you talked to Chris, Gene?....bobford
