With a roar and roof rumbling the initial force of this storm has arrive, just an 1 1/2 north of Sacramento, at 11:15 pst our power went out for just a few minutes then restored and the wind hitting with a eerie sensation unfamiliar. We've has strong winds in the past, but this went from nearly no wind to 50~60mph rather quickly. Very little rain at this time.
Lights are still on, taking surveys outside I found a cotton tail hiding on our back porch.
Going to be a long nite.
