Conditions are horrendous yet here along the lake. Lots of downed trees and power lines. We had two trees come down just hitting the edge of the house causing a little damage. I have been here 20 years and have never experienced anything like it. I would avoid the area unless you live close. There are some birds moving in this mess. Best so far, 200+ brant, 2 pomarine jaegers, and a little gull. Lots of Bonparte's gulls. Everything is heading west. Not much else to do but watch the lake. Thank goodness for Rain-X.
