I couldn't respond sooner to this thread as our power was out yesterday afternoon from about noon until 3pm, and then again from around 4pm until almost 4am this morning. Trees were down everywhere, including two on our road that fell across electrical wires. Our weather station has battery backup and it recorded a gust of 53 mph at 6:28pm last night. Yesterday afternoon we watched one of the three bob houses near Treasure Island literally blow apart in the torrential wind, and pieces of it and its contents were strewn all over the ice. The wind is still howling here this morning at 15 - 25 mph, and we had a snow squall about an hour ago. Pretty tough conditions for all the fishermen out there.
