winds of up to 94k yesterday. Some trees down on the beach. Our town kept power. It was out nearby.

 

[BethAnne]

We lost power for 1.75 hours before supper...no damage here. Besides the fires there was also two train derailments in AB yesterday.

Grrr...something has updated on my computer and now nothing seems to be working.

And we in the Atlantic provinces, safely wrapped in our virtue, have no fires.

 

[BethAnne]

Crossnest Pass fire is still out of control and they still have wind - concern as we have relatives down there...authorities say the others are out but as they are walking around showing us (tv coverage), I could still see pretty big flames in some places.

They got everybody out of Coleman and they were to report in at a church in pincher creek.

Vertical church 403-904-0021. Actually some are under evac and some orders have been lifted, but fire is out of control.

 

[BethAnne]

My relatives are at the other end of the Pass from Coleman so are fine, IF the wind doesn't change direction.

 

[BethAnne]

There are still a lot of people stranded on the highway as they can't get through the area.

 

[Pontifex Geronimo 13]

Ha! It’s one way down there . The trees are short and all lean east.

At LAST the wind has died down a bit. Lots of (mostly) minor damage around town. Shingles off, items tossed about, water butts blown around, trees or branches on power lines - that sort of thing. I confess I grinned when I read on a local FB group "Anyone missing a trampoline? There's one on the corner of 7th St and 2nd Av. " I changed the location so you won't find it if you go looking - it isn't yours anyway!

A co-worker had her Skeleton with a Rose Halloween lawn decoration blow away in the wind storm. That would be the last thing I'd want to find on my lawn after the wind died down.

I was wrong about wind speed it did get up to 114k yesterday. Calmer today but quite a few trees down. A restaurant had their empty patio furniture-metal chairs and tables blow off their patio

 

[Redbaron]

Wow. Hope it calms down really soon.

 

[BethAnne]

Paper deliveries today

 

[Redbaron]

Safe travels.

Last waiting for my sister who is having a medical test and needed a driver as she is sedated for the test.

I've had to do that for my wife a few times. Oddly, I've never had any of those tests myself so she's been off the hook for waiting so far.

 

[KayTheCurler]

I take a book along when I go for tests. Doesn't matter whether they are testing me or my passenger. I make sure I have a thick enough book so I won't read the LAST page!

My son's neighbour's trampoline blew to pieces taking Crazy Sons fence and damage to deck.
