Did you get any of that wild wind the other day?
Not that bad here, but rough. :)doak
Hey Doak, that was some crazy stuff. We were getting it here too.
tell more about the wind!Did it have storms first?
your friend,
john
Yes, but this was what was called "wake" winds. Not associated with the storms. :)doak
It was fierce - my normal drive to work is 20 minutes on a trafficky day - on Tuesday I left home at 8 am and got to work at 9:15. There were so many trees down, blocking roads, lights still out - we didn't have power at the office on Monday (the day the winds actually came through) from 10 - 4:30 and some people still didn't have power on Tuesday night.
The drought has been so hard on the trees that their root systems are weak and a blast of wind like those we had on Monday can tear a poorly rooted tree (some huge ones) right out of the ground.

It was bad, had a tree fall on my grand father's house, in his day room no less while he was reading the paper in his recliner. He had JUST got a new roof after we had that really big hail storm those few weeks back. Waiting for the Ins. Adjuster to take a look before I clear it up.
I blew us around in Cherokee pretty good.
I was waiting for the dreaded call from my Uncle that my plane had been flipped over.
But it weathered the storms fine!
