I read in the newspaper that you guys were getting battered by up to 80mph winds! I hope you are weathering the storm Sparkey!

Wonder what "force" winds that would be classified as. Read a lot of books where the winds were rated as force 6, 7 etc.
Three Scores and 14 years old and still going strong.

I'm not sure, but 80mph may be close to a category 1 huricane.

All gone now and the usual tree down stuff. Hopefully nobody was hurt.
