No need to bring pets/wife in, they weren’t going out in those conditions for any reason.
The house, car and occupants fared well in horrendous conditions. We have several trees that are missing significant branches around us but they all managed to miss property.
There are thousands waiting for power to be restored and hundreds either have no water or severely poor pressure. The current predictions are to get everything restored by early next week. By some miracle people listened to advice and there’s been little evidence so far of many suffering significant injuries let alone the loss of life that these conditions often cause.
Hopefully those otherwise affected have also avoided the severe unpleasantness a storm could have provided.
