That's a good thing. I live in the Rocky Mountain west out in the country and we can get some wicked winds and dumps of snow with drifting and the worst always comes at night! I once walked outside after a not big snowstorm one night to find about 3'+ of fairly densely packed snow had drifted in front of the garage stranding us 15 miles from anything but a neighbor. Fortunately, he came by with a loader and got us squared away. I've since bought a snowblower for those times there's too much to shovel. We used to lose power a lot back some years ago but the power company has improved its rural services so outages are far less frequent. For us, no power means no water other than what we store for emergenices and refilling the toilets as we're on a well. Part of the reason we have a second home in town where things are far more calm!Man I don't know. I've always questioned that. Out of the tons of hurricanes I've been through, they mostly all have come in at night. I think it's coincidence but it's also strange!
Makes it worse especially if you lose power. We're getting pounded right now!
Thankfully the houses are built to withstand it but in the morning I'll step out to see
the aftermath. (Still have a few hours to go). Sometimes roof tiles fly off, Fence flies off, tree damage, car damage etc..
I'm surprised that I still have power & internet. I had the house built in 2018 so it's a new neighborhood where all the electricals are underground. I guess that actually works!
And these new houses are tight as a fridge. You can barely hear what's happening outside but when you look outside
It's scary, LOL!!
Hope there's good news for you in the morning but the media is really going on about how bad Ian is.
