Finally got internet back this morning. Nothing catastrophic in my neighborhood. Did have a healthy branch fall on the carport/porch roof and made a dent. Had to get up to remove it and fix a shingle. Will need to get up in the attic at some point to check on the plywood. Would have been pissed if it hit my anemometer.

Variey of talk from good observers about that winds stayed steady at 50+mph for longer and not so much intense gust for a few seconds.. A lot of big limbs did drop straight down and fully leafed. Not a lot of blow around. May have been winds just kept steady pushing.

Here are three photos I took during the storm (one is actually a video frame). I sat there inside with the camera propped on the window sill and took several, attempting to get the sky while it was lit up. Since the power had already gone out, it was essentially pitch-black inside and outside so any light was due solely to the lightning itself.

Lightning streaking across the sky. Taken with a ~1/3 second exposure at ISO400:
