Fire scanner for FC has been reporting trees into houses, 3 in the last 10 in since I started listening. FCPD scanner seems to have gone off-line, at least temporarily.

Not that much rain. 5" sounds about right. We've had a lot worse.

Winds are cranking pretty good. National Airport says 38 mph with gusts to 60.

I was out an hour or so ago and surprised not to see as many trees down as I expected. Guess the storm earlier this year took out most of the weak stuff. Sure that there are some other areas where they are though.

Just reported another tree into home and 2 more "wires down". A link to learn about our power outages is

Having more big gusts lately, not as much rain it seems, and the wind is coming more from the north.
