Here where I live we get 60-70mph winds every year so when the do come the damage is minimal. But I know what it can do and it is dangerous and scary at times. If that wind hits with an ice storm or when the ground is super saturated with water the damage and destruction can also be much worse.

Yes, on the news last night they said it was going to be pretty bad in the east. Hopefully you and your property come through ok. They say it's a real nor'easter! Here's just a tiny bit of what's going on in the east:

Other notable heavy snow totals as of Friday morning included 14 inches in Harborcreek, Pennsylvania, and Windham, New York, 12 inches near North East, Pennsylvania, 11.9 inches at Buffalo-Niagara International Airport, and 11 inches in Chardon, Ohio.

Some wet snow has begun to mix in over the New York City metro area, in Baltimore, and precipitation had changed to snow in Harrisburgh, Pennsylvania.

High winds are current raking parts of the mid-Atlantic states, Appalachians and New England.

Winds gusted to 67 mph at Washington-Dulles and 62 mph at Reagan National Airport early Friday. A 74 mph gust was clocked atop Chickaree Summit, Pennsylvania.

Gusts over 50 mph are already buffeting Boston-Logan Airport, and trees have been downed in Arlington, Burlington, Easton, North Andover, Sharon and Woburn. Trees have also been downed in parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia and western North Carolina.

Numerous reports of trees down blocking roads and a few onto homes and buildings have come in from the Washington D.C. metro.

Avery County, North Carolina 911 reported numerous trees downed across the county Thursday evening. A peak gust over 100 mph was clocked atop Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina, early Friday.
Oh that sounds quite bad.

I broke down and got Wendy's Baconator (hamburger) last Friday. They used processed cheese on it. YUCK!!!!! It ruined the sandwich. How anyone can eat that junk is beyond my understanding! Thank goodness I didn't get sick from the preparer sneezing on my food!
I love cheeseburgers.
But we make out own with proper cheese.
Wendy's doesn't seem to have gone international like McDonald's and Burger King, but I have heard of them.
I have a McDonald's maybe twice a year but prefer Burger King, maybe three or four times a year. But the cheese is dreadful so I usually get something else.
