All my little guys (7 birds) are doing great. I was very surprised that not one of them made a sound during the night. I did move them out of the front room away from the big window to the hall so that they we're safter.
Power went out about 12:30 am and came back on about 8:30 pm.
As to damages locally there is a very large tree that was up rooted and is now leaning against the cable lines (thankfully the power lines were moved a little while ago to the front.
At about 10 or so the power flickered again and when it came back on there was a HUGE explosion from about 7 streets over right behind a friends of my moms. When the power flickered the transformer blew.
2 of my friends had to be evacuated from an apartment that partly collapsed, I was told one of them help the fire fighters get 3 people out of an apartment that they were stuck in. One friend has a wife and one has a girlfriend and both of them are safe too. They might be out of a home for about 1.5 months.
I have been told that a whole warf and restranunt are now inside the casino.
There are many many trees down (specialy in the public gardens, they are a HUGE mess)
One of the hospitals had a part of its roof torn off.
Thats it for now till I can get more time to see everything thats happened and to make sure my power don't cut out again when I typing something.
