And the gale is apparently happening tonight, but of course mostly in the hills. I went out with some recycling and food for Prudence, who I'd seen on the fence, and found all the leaves in the driveway had been blown towards the trash cans and the house, and in the middle of the driveway, a miffed Mama Violet. (Yes, there was food on the porch.) Hopefully nothing will get destroyed; my back is still hurty, so I don't relish clearing fallen tree limbs, drones, space station debris, or the like.
