Had to retrieve my trash can from in front of my neighbor's house. First time I've seen winds here high enough to blow them over and away.

Fortunately, I had waited to put out the recycling bin (it has no cover). Otherwise, there would be garbage all over the street.
The wind shook the house, woke me up. The rain was intense - it sounded like large hail shot from a machine gun, hitting the northwest side of the 2nd story where my bedroom is (there's a tall fence protecting the 1st floor on that side). It was all over in a few minutes.
All I kept thinking was, "don't hurt the house, don't hurt the house."
