This function does NOT spell check when I type. I have enabled it several times and it does not work as labeled. And it most certainly doesn’t stay enabled; it has to be enabled every time I open BFT. The only thing that seems to work when I click on the ‘Enable SCAYT’ button is it turns on all of the options to click on in the dropdown menu. And all of those options only open up a Spell Check As You Type window with 4 tabs to choose from (Options, Languages, Dictionaries, About). Whoopee! The only way to check spelling is to type it all out, click on the spell check button above, and click on the ‘Check Spelling’ option at the bottom of the dropdown menu. It’s a real PITA to do something that SHOULD BE an automatic function by default. At the very least, it should highlight the words it thinks are spelled wrong to allow you to correct those mistakes. The free WebSpellChecker being used here is worth what it costs - it’s worthless. ---

Not to bad up in Heber so far. Tipped over trash cans and some branches on the ground. Even tried to snow for a few minutes. ---

Dam you guys got off easy. Took the roof off my covered deck, blew over the swingset, picked up a rabbit hutch and moved it 50’, lots of branches down in the yard.

Well we got our share of damage from the wind,  our Trampoline was not tied down and ended up across the street in my neighbors back yard . Luckily it did no damage to their vehicles but did bust up 1 metal gate section. On the way it tore down 2 sections of my fence in the front yard ( repaired now) and 3 dead trees on the back side of my pond fell over in the pond. But no serious damage. ---

I got lucky, our trampoline didn’t move and it’s not tied down either, but have talked to a few people that have had them blow away on Monday. ---

With 3 of my grandkids here yesterday, we got most of the tree limbs cleaned up and in the truck to haul to the landfill. Got an 8 am appointment tomorrow morning at the body shop to get the repairs started on the wife’s car, it took a light beating from one limb off the tree in the front yard. A limb from the tree in the backyard came down on top of the travel trailer, so have to call and make an appointment to get the hole in the roof fixed. Already have claims started with both insurance companies. Will spend part of the weekend putting some soffit and fascia back up. Other than no power for 38 hrs came out of it alright. ---

Thankfully no there wasn’t. Not something I’d have thought would fly away either as heavy as it was. Funny a couple small pieces of plywood laying on my saw horse’s didn’t move. Watching a forest fire now behind the hose, came home to raining ash this afternoon. ---

Living in an apartment, I personally didn’t have any damage. But was getting in my truck that morning, and just as I was about to pull out of the covered parking spot, a big pine tree blew over in front and off to one side of me. Was like slow motion, pulled entire root ball out of the ground.
