Good morning guys.

Wow was it windy yesterday - trees down, power lines down and power out all over the area. A huge tree fell on a house in my neighborhood, up the street just North of us. We had sustained 30-40 MPH wind all day and Detroit Metro Airport recorded the highest gust in SE MI at 68 MPH. Power has been cut to over 1 million in the area and could take days to restore. DTE Energy, one of our area's two major power suppliers, is calling this the largest weather event in their history.

Good morning, everyone!

Sorry to see the winds were crazy by you, Matt. That happened to us down here a few weeks ago.

In other news, my owner is going to the junk yard to find parts for me! I'm so excited what he's going to find.

Have a great rest of your day, everyone!

Good afternoon folks!

I just wanted to say that the first fallen tree Matt pictured is my hero. I always wanted to do that!

Hahaha! That happened to me and my son in a Chevy S10. The base of a massive tree landed on the bed of the truck while we were in it and diving. Some bigger limbs were on the cab of the truck, thankfully not completely crushing the cab so we were safe. The truck was shaped like a banana after it came out from under the tree.
