Damage report

4:30 am, just looked out on the back patio. All 5 blades of the ceiling fan are on the ground. As the wind is hard from the North, and that's the way the patio faces, I'm not opening the door to retrieve them yet. The power has blinked a couple more times, and all of the commercial areas surrounding us have seemingly lost power, our neighborhood is still lit up. The sounds of some of the gusts are incredible. We're safe and secure as the winds aren't high enough for structural damage, and being in a development about 10 years old, none of the trees are large enough to cause damage.

I'm tired, but as you can imagine, it's impossible to sleep (although no one else in the house is having any problems sleeping...)

5am, just lost part of the back fence. 4x4 posts cemented into the ground snapped, starting at the corner of the yard. I think about 3 of them so far and the fence is laying down. I expect the other ones will fail as that leaves alot of pressure on the remaining ones. I hope the side can hold out, but without the back tied into it at the corner, it may fail also. Winds are still getting stronger.

Here is a pic of the fence I took a couple of hours ago.
