The big gust that came through about 4:15 was impressive.  Lost a large tree limb from a giant poplar in our back yard.  Neighbors large pine across Lawyers Road from our driveway was uprooted with entire root ball in the air.  The pine raked the power lines on our side of the road as it came down narrowly missing someone driving by on Lawyers.  Was a 100+ foot pine about 36" across at the base (lots of potential energy released with the impact when it hit the road).  Lawyers Rd was closed for about 2 hours as the neighbors helped me cut it up into chunks my Kubota could drag to the side to open the road again.  Biggest problem was all the drivers who were determined to drive by despite the police having closed the road.  Some even drove on the sidewalk along Lawyers Road as an attempt to get by.

Seems like the wind has really died down.

Downgraded to advisory until 0200 Sat for us.

Not even sure why it wasn't canceled altogether.  Here we didn't even have advisory criteria winds.  Spent today sharpening chains, can't work in "high wind warning".  Cut some ash cookies with the 661, she's wicked sharp now!

It's funny this area busts even on weather we really DON'T want.  Oh well, sunny with 75F dewpoints here we come. :|
