Kinda Windy Out There !!

[CS1983]

Well, home. Tons of fences down in the neighborhood, but we seem unaffected. Most of the downed fences are yards on the corners where there isn't a windbreak made by other houses.

The wind blew the neighbor's cat onto our porch.

Maybe the wind will change directions and blow it back ?!?!?

Spent an hour vacuuming the glass from our patio table out of our yard. The wind flipped the table over the patio bench, and then it exploded when it flipped. The umbrella was in the table, but it was down and tied shut....guess it didn't matter with this wind.

A buddy of mine's car was totalled by the wind ripping roof tiles off his apartment complex and hurling them at his car.

I came thru the Springs around noon and went thru the carnage. I counted 8 trucks on their side.
CHP at Mile marker 91 forcing all trucks off the road at 1:30 this afternoon.
My house 80 mph winds with gusts over 97 mph.
Lost all the shingles on the west side of my house

Fences are down, roof is toast and the backside of the house. And it is not done yet.

Not too bad here today. The interstate highways were closed to light and high profile vehicles. 30-40 mph winds. Gusts past 55.

Sorry to hear all you guys having property damage from the wind. That's a real bummer.

Coming south from Pueblo, we counted 12 semis on their sides, several small trailers as well. There were probably 30 or so power poles broken off on both sides of the interstate south of walsenburg. It appeared the train lost about five coal cars at MM28. It looked like they were empty. We got home to find the big pinion in our circle driveway laying in the wife's parking spot. I'm glad we took her her new car. If we hadn't, some how, some way, I'm sure it would have been my fault.

North Colorado Springs, tree in my side yard. It is (was) a good 15+ foot tree. Luckily it just missed the house and deck.
