We got to 10 today and the wind was still really blowing. Last night it just howled all night. We lost part of one shingle on the roof, luckily nothing more damaged than that. The poor birds were huddling all puffed up taking turns at the feeders all day. Not a squirrel of Chipmunk in site. I'm guessing they just stayed in their little nests.
All the kitties were snuggled in bed with us or snuggled up together too.
