We were without power ifor over 10 hours. We had a fence blow over and a big brick wall collapse. My front lawn is wearing half the national forest. My next door neighbors' big pine tree came down and buckled a neighbor's garage roof. My next door neighbor on the other side had a big steel beam from God know's where in his driveway. Plus, it is trash day and there's garbage, yard waste, and recyclables everywhere.

 

That's intense. Hopefully no one was hurt?

 

That's gonzo.

 

I hope your S was safely tucked away in a garage.

 

No one hurt, S was safe.

 

I heard it last nite in my sleep. I thought it was a storm, but just wind. Crazy. I wonder where it came from...

 

Everybody keeps saying "Oh, the air is so clear. No smog." I have to remind them that this air is THE most unhealthful we can breathe in LA because of the high concentration of totally suspended particulates, particularly PM10, which is 10 microns or less in diameter, roughly the diameter of human hair, and can penetrate all layers of lung tissue.

 

out of sight, out of mind.

 

Out of sight, out of mind, into the lungs.

 

We had 28 MPH winds the other night at the homestead.
