Here in Downeast Maine along the coast, some wind & rain, but nothing other
than some power & phone lines down from broken branches. power out for
about 6-7 hours.
We have many tall oaks, spruce, cedar, pines on our property, but nothing
blew over.
I helped manage the Penobscot Fire Station by playing cribbage as the 911
service was out, was home in bed by 10:30 pm w/ my 2 way radio on.  Power
came back on by midnite+-  w/ no further calls.

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-SFSG
