A Break in The Weather.

Some rain for a couple hours at midday, but the wind has relented, and that's a relief. Lot of folks with minor property damage after the winds last night, and a few trees and branches in the roadways. Joe H. at the ranch had a top of his (metal) chimney blown off, and the horse arena roof lost some metal. The storm noise at the beach was so loud it kept waking us up; after at while I made up my mind to stop worrying about it - I put in my earplugs so I could get some sleep. Things settled down in the late afternoon, folks were out front on the beach, walking and searching the sand: looking for agates, we presume.
