I am awake wayyy too early in the morning and the howling wind has died down. I haven't yet gone to check to see if there are any branches lying on my car yet on the other side of the building, but as all of my German friends predicted, we did not lose electric power (got a flicker about midnight though!) and did not lose internet. In fact, irony of ironies, my connection was more stable at the height of the storm than it was on a sunny afternoon this week!
Temperatures are ridiculously warm.
