High winds today, 1/2 of my pool cover came loose and it's in the pool. Should be fun trying to straighten that out. Had a pine tree get blown over. This is from the national weather service.

...HIGH WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM EST SATURDAY...

* Locations...Along and either side of the Blue Ridge in
Virginia and North Carolina.

* Hazards...Very strong to damaging northwest winds.

* Winds...Northwest 20 to 35 mph with gusts to 60 mph, or
stronger at higher elevations.

* Timing...Today through Saturday morning. Strongest winds this
afternoon into early this evening.

* Impacts...Numerous downed trees and power outages likely.
Minor structural damage possible. Winds this strong can also
make travel difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A High Wind Warning means a hazardous high wind event is expected
or occurring. Sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or gusts
of 58 mph are likely to cause power outages...fallen trees...
property damage...and dangerous driving conditions for high
profile vehicles. Move unfastened items...such as garbage cans
and deck furniture...indoors.
