But I'd rather have a brown-out than a white-out, and it was not cold. Limited visibility and a lot of hazardous crap blowing around. Almost had a wreck swerving to avoid what looked to be one of those plastic utility boxes blowing across the street right in front of me. It must have been sitting in an alley waiting for installation and the wind got it. Yesterday began windy and it stayed that way until well after sunset. Today it won't be so bad.
A lot of flimsy fences got knocked over and that means escaped pets. My fence has 8 foot steel uprights with 2 feet anchored in concrete with a concrete skirt all around the perimeter. That's what it takes to deal with this kind of wind. Expensive? You bet. Cedar planks six inches wide and an inch thick fastened to cedar 2 by 4 horizontals with treated decking screws. Someday I really ought to consider ribbon wire as an adornment for this structure.
