We got hit this morning. As I left for work just before 7am it was dark as night (and I am NOT exaggerating) and then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,BANG. The wind came out of nowhere upwards of 65 mph and I ended up thinking I was in England before I knew what happened (fortunately no oncoming traffic, lol), rained like I hadn't seen it rain in a long time, lightening, thunder, like the end of the world was upon us. The route I take to work usually, to avoid the interstate, was an obstacle course. Branches, limbs, assorted debris and so on. Then about 100 yards in front of me I see a huge tree tipping over right across the road. Brakes don't fail me now! Stopped just in time and barely could get around it on the left shoulder. Get into Mosinee and notice, it's awfully dark. No electricity on the west side of the river and same deal, trees and branches down all over the place, signs flattened....................It was a hell of a thing.
On the plus side, it "only" got up to 89 because the sun was out for maybe an hour total all day but the humidity never went below 90% so it wasn't all on the plus side.
