At about 10pm there was a very weird sound so I went outside and so did the neighbour. He was yelling something about it's the house over there and pointing. I thought darn that's my rental. But luckily for me it was a three story house under renovation covered in scaffolding and a plastic bubble. Umm, not much plastic left this morning. My place is a wooden house so it just boogies about in a strong wind or earhquake then returns to normal.

That's a bad storm that ended up good...makes one feel good about precautions taken.
Home maintenance is so very important.
