Big joker knocked out power in the 'hood.I'm about 75 yards away due to downed power lines.
 
Well is back on, but house isn't (on 2 different services). Still running the generator that I picked up earlier this year off here from my awesome ODT brother @Comanche! It was absolutely money well spent!
 
Standing dead tree (blue bird nest) took out my service (power co. side this time)
Still gusting in Dawson, only a distant tree fell so far.
Wife is hollering for the generator already.
Another fell while typing.
Pork chops, rice, beans, & coffee on the propane stove by oil lamp light.
 
In Dahlonega at 8:30 PM:

Very, very windy
Very strong gusts that shake the house a little
Can hear trees cracking
Lights flickering
Black outside
Very spooky..........................................Maybe I should get lickered up?!
 
We've had a lot of big storms the last few years but the mess this storm has left in my yard will take weeks to clean up. Several large trees down and some broken and hanging limbs that will have to dealt with.
It could have been much worse, we have the generator running and watching the Ohio State game. It pays to be prepared.
