At about 3:30 PM today, in Maryland, a big strong wind came up and just
blew down the blue spruce in my front yard. Didn't hear a thing and
didn't hit my house. My next door neighbor told me she just watched it
slowly go from vertical to horizontal. It missed the gate and took out a
section of split rail fence. There goes a couple of thousand dollars.

Those of your north of me keep safe.

We were having a nice little sunny break from the rain, and suddenly it
sounded like a freight train coming through. I ran out and watched the big
oaks going back and forth with a lot of concern. Luckily nothing fell over.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but glad no one was hurt.
