i live south of the river which probably wasn't as bad as the north side. the storm came in two fronts, the second worse than the first. i went out for a drive at the peak of both fronts, hailstones and all. after the northwest cyclones it didn't worry me much, just had to have a looksee. the jk 4 door with hardtop, never had any issues , no wind pressure, problems with rivers on the roads, water leaks and no hailstone damage. thought the resin top was going to split wide opn (the noise was a bit scary with ice rocks pelting on it). but nothing, absolutely nothing. just an intersting drive and a bit of fun with a couple of simulated creek crossings at a few intersections. great stuff. th house was also undamaged, no food lost with the power outage, turned on the fridge in the back of the jeep and used that and pulled out the camping stove and gas light and a couple of power packs so i even had the laptop up and running and ameans of recharging the mobile phone. just took the jeep out for a couple of runs to keep the deep cycle battery and power packs charged. all good fun eh!!
