There have been thousands without power for hours now, there are some roads (and heavily traveled ones) that are impassable due to flooding, and uprooted trees, damaged roofs, damaged homes, damaged businesses, broken traffic lights, all due to the crazy wind.
I went to KGUN early this evening to get some work done ahead since one of my co-workers is on vacation tomorrow, and the first storm hit when I was there. I took a few photos:
(There was no significant damage at the radio/tv building or at my apartment building two miles away. We were fortunate).
