A few days ago we had a huge wind storm. We lost power from 3am until 6pm in the evening. It was so windy it was nuts. We had wind like this in Unalaska but here it just seemed so different or unexpect. We had a steady 50mph and gusts up to 85mph. The wind blew down many telephone poles, put wholes in barns, blew barns down and it blew off some of our roof on our big milk barn. It also blew over many, many semi tractor trailers on the highway. It blew on off the bridge in Ogdensburg. They had to close down the bridge to Canada because of the high winds. They were only letting vehicles of high weight go thru. Everyone who had a big swing set like ours was blown over from our house to Alexandria bay. I found our slide way down by the trailers.

Asa was able to hook up the generator. Thank god because our house was freezing with no heat and so much wind. I think the house was down to 52 degrees before he had it running. It was chilli.
