Last night we had a sudden huge storm. The news reported that we had winds in excess of 100mph! It’s really started around 10:00 pm when I heard the wind pick up and I took a look outside the window and saw the tree just outside practically sideways. A few minutes after that it actually did blow down and I saw it happen!!! We lost power to the entire building at 10:15 pm until 4:00 am. I got pictures of the tree that blew down and a few others. In the 3rd picture you can actually see Katy’s car to the right. If the tree blew the other way, her hood and windshield would have been gone… There were over 10 trees in the complex that got torn out of the ground like this one. Even more on the 202 freeway.

I will also upload some video later of the storm. It’s really dark but you can see the sky light up after the lightning strikes. It was literally 2 to 3 seconds between strikes. It got so insane that just before the power went out the sky lit up green when the power transformer blew! MAN THAT WAS SO COOL!!!!
