"The night has been unruly: where we lay,
Our chimneys were blown down;" -Lennox, Macbeth
High winds have caused widespread power outages here. Very high straight line winds, tropical storm speeds. FirstEnergy is running around with their hair on fire. Power is expected to be back on by March 10th-11th.

In other news, Spectrum internet is down around major cities across the U.S. Incompetent company or Russian attack? Or did we just make that up to kill time? Discuss below.

edit: power is back on for me, crCIA averted

Why so much wind? The wind bent a power pole halfway over outside of where I'm living!

50mph winds near me, predicted to be even stronger tomorrow

Wind got over 74 mph here. Blew our grill over, and over in Toledo a truck blew over so they closed the highways.
