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
