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.
