Well from PF in Ohio, to Lixy in PA, to me here in RI......

We've had high winds all day and they are getting stronger!! They have restricted traffic on the Jamestown & Newport bridges, no buses, no empty trucks. If the wind stays above 50 mph they will close the Newport bridge. The National Guard is at both ends ready to block it off.

I put the spotlight on in the back of the house just a few minutes ago and there are branches of all sizes strewn everywhere. What a mess!

I've never heard 'the train', (knock-on-wood) and I hope I never do.
