Pretty much everything between De Anza and our house (and beyond, as I discovered) was without power. The drive home involved many a dead stoplight. Most people were clued into the “treat it like a 4 way stop” rule, but not all. Only the major shopping centers had power.

The winds were strong enough that it appears to have ever so slightly bent the rollers on one of our sliding glass doors. It no longer slides with quite the same alacrity as before.

We were without power a total of about 13 hours.

Driving around the area today, there were lots of trees and major branches down. Many roads had clearly been blocked before, but were cleared by today. There were still a handful of stoplights out.

Today’s rains were heavy, but completely pleasant, by comparison.
