Girl, it's bad here in the Amarillo, Tx area. You having strong winds over there?

My neighbor just lost his pole barn. Our windmill fell over, roof is blowing bad, shingles are a-flying as I speak. Winds are up over 60mph.

My house is made of 2 by six's instead of 4's , so, hopefully, I won't blow up the street.

stupid me went out to the mailbox and took my phone with me just in case

I had to hold on to the brick mailbox at one point then when I turned to go back to house a gust caught me and I just stood stock still and let it blow around me then when it subsided for a second I ran for the house.

My next thought was to drop to the ground and walk on knees if I had to

Scary !

Pieces of my roof (gonna have to be replaced) are blowing past my window right now.

My poor neighbors , oh man, to come home to that pole barn laying on ground and crumbled up . Oh my !

So sad. This area is getting whipped !

It’s very windy here on the tail end of things and we had over an inch of rain yesterday. I just looked at one of my radar apps and it looks like a hurricane in the middle of the country. Be safe everyone.

@SharkE . LOL, from the suburbs not the city. We just have sheds around here in my neighborhood. Much smaller than a pole barn. But it does get really windy at times. This area has tons of very tall trees that do fall with the wind. That’s what is scary around here.

Stay safe.
I’ve lived in the country, but never heard the term pole barn. Maybe it’s regional.

@Hoovermom

I've been watching it on the Weather Channel. Mike Siedel is getting it now. Sharkie - has your power gone out and/or you on generator.? You just sent pole barn pictures so know you have some juice from somewhere. (yes, NYS knows about pole barns)

It's now moved past WY.

@Kachina624 paging you for @SharkE . Sharke, you have to put the page inside the post. It doesn't work in the title. Just trying to help.

Re: @Kachinea624

yeah, I got a turn key generator , still have electricity, sky is blue, temp is in 60's, just the wind will blow the hair off your legs.

I'd be afraid to run the generator because if I try to lift that garage door and I'd have to vent the generator or smother myself to death I'd be in bad trouble I'd rather be without electricity.

It should pass by 8 and I can get out and survey my own house and grounds. I got 2 1/2 acres.

I got a man coming out Thurs to see about a new roof. This wind didn't help it any and down here in Tx I was told U have to replace your roof every 10 yrs. and I've been here since 2010.

I'm never lonely I always got somebody coming and going ! LOL
