Didn't hear any cracking of trees overnight but will venture out in a bit to see the damage.
Our driveway is long and comes off a small side street. We went up last night to the street to look around and walk out to a larger road. The main road was plowed, poorly plowed but plowed. Walking back to our driveway a pine cracked and fell next to us. Then we heard another tree crack so we headed back inside!
They expect coastal damage with the next tide.
They don't call them widow makers for nothing! Glad you've got this far relatively unscathed.
