They weren't kidding. OMG! Sounds like a hurricane. Things blowing around the yard, falling out of the trees. It's after 4 am and still going strong. Power out for hours, just came back on here in Cliffwood Beach. I think 50 MPH is an underestimate of some of these gusts. Maybe 80 MPH a couple of times?
