Trees are being blown down blocking roadways. There are power outage in a lot of areas. Traffic lights are out. The neighbor's roof is blowing all over the yard and front porch. Tree branches are breaking and blowing all over the place. Be very careful if you need to go out. I am in for the evening. Stay safe everyone. - Lu Smith - 20
