Oh my goodness. I'm not sure if our town is on the same spot on the map anymore. The wind blew so hard here yesterday. We had 50mph plus winds as our normals almost all day.
Now where I live here in Arizona. It's never breezy. It's either, dead calm, or you see the witch riding by on her bike then broom. I've seen shed's blown over, the big blue trash cans down the street, and number of shingles blown about.
Yesterday this little town had such high sustained winds that it was a brown haze all day. Like we were in the middle of a house on fire, it looked all smoky, but it was the sand. I had to dodge limb after limb as I drove around, until finally I had to drive around some downed tree's. As I was driving my big old suburban down one of our famous hills (I usually coast and it speeds me up to about 50 cuz the suburban is so heavy) I took my foot off the gas and was instantly slowed down to 15 mph.
I seen two big wood fences blown over. One camper of the back of a truck blown off and down the street, and I saw a house with it's siding actually blown off.
Today woke up and all was calm. Captain Daddy called me, he couldn't get out of his little travel trailer. Now remember it's parked up next to my mom's old place. He couldn't get out, because the side of her old house blew off. There is still a bit of the wall left, with some insulation, but the side of her house blew off, and blocked his door, blocking him in. Gigantor went and fixed that thank god.
I guess nature is helping speed along us tearing her place down to move ours up there. hehehehe
All you to the east of me, I hope the wind dies down before it hits you. hehehehe
Have a good, wind free, Thursday everyone.
