I'm very happy to report that The Compound made it through last night's horrible wind storm unscathed. The closest thing to damage we had was the metal windmill blowing over and some limbs down in the backyard, but that's about it. Those just a few miles away in Shively, and farther east in the Highlands and St. Matthews weren't so lucky - they were hit hard. Trees are down left and right in those areas, and they still don't have any power. In fact, the car repair shop that is working on the BMW didn't have any power today, so they had to close. They're located about a mile from work, too. The power was out in our company last night, and they sent the night shift workers home. Lucky them. The power came back on at work at about 6:30 this morning, just in time for day shift to work. Lucky them.
The massive cold front rolled through our 'hood at about 8:00 and brought with it 50-60 mile an hour winds and a bigtime sudden drop in the temperature. Last night before the storm it was in the mid 50's; this morning when I got up for work it was 17. Now that's what I call a cold front. But other than the wind and some limbs and sticks out in the yard, we were very very lucky here at The Compound. We must be living right.
