Power is back on here. After two days without, one definitely appreciates the luxury of being able to flip on a light.

According to the official numbers, the peak wind gust in my neighborhood was 102mph. Suffice to say I didn't get my bike ride in yesterday... otherwise all seems well at this point, though.

[Now looking harder at vehicle-to-home power solutions.]

@corbet I know, right? It feels so dumb to have 80kwh sitting useless in your driveway when you have to wear a headlamp to go pee.

"102mph" 😮

Wow, don't think I've ever experienced gusts over 70mph and that was bad enough. There must be a lot of structural damage in your neighborhood.

@corbet Reminds me of my time in Colorado, though experienced 102mph gusts. Glad it’s over.

@mackaj Less structural damage than you might think. High winds are not all that unusual here, so the building codes have them in mind. The real problem this time around was the combination with extreme fire danger; happily we seem to have dodged that bullet for the moment.
