At least the anchor bolts held.

The truckers and rv owners keep talking about the winds in Wyoming flipping their rigs or ripping the awnings off the sides.  Apparently that isn't considered a freakish accident there. But -damn-

Forecast today is for 100mph winds across the ridgetops.

We're well sheltered though... and we finally cut down that house-killing 150' fir with signs of disease

We have big pines here.  Maybe 90-100' tops.  A few years back one hurricane pushed the pines over including the root ball ...never had seen that before, as pines usually break before the tap root gives up.  Anyway, an acquaintance of mine had evacuated. Good thing he did, because 5 pines sliced his house up like an egg-cutter.
