State of Emergency

I didn't know that our state is in the 'state of emergency' till I switched-on the news. The wind was really blowing hard, I figured it will cause damages somewhere. Most places have lost power and trees were knocked down and still obstructing some thoroughfares. People are advised to just stay home and not drive anymore. When I checked our deck, I was amazed at how a stack of six steel deck chairs was moved about five feet across the deck so close to the stairs. Good thing it didn't fall, but the viynl cover was ripped off. My son has few toys on the deck and everything was in disarray. I'm not sure if there is something missing but the cover of the turtle sandbox was obviously not there. I looked everywhere and found it in the middle of our front yard. After this messy windy weather, we're heading for a chilly weekend in the 20's and 30's, goodluck to us ;-).
