    Default Kinda Windy Out There !!

    Downtown Colo Spgs is looking crazy with all the wind damage.
    Had friends out making deliveries observing: tree fallen on car near the museum, Cops out with shields helping deflect falling objects so people can clear the area, smashed windows.
    Might be a good day to stay in for lunch .

    Be safe out there !!!

    Looks like I'll be busy again for the next few weeks. That's nice.

    A lot of neighborhood fences down on my way to work. Mother in law was coming down to visit and was so windy she couldn't get beyond Tomah road.

    I should have taken the kite, would have saved gas.

    Word I got was the El Paso County Courthouse has debris flying off the roof, they closed it down for the day and had to help protect people from all the stuff flying off it as they evac'd the building.
    Sounds crazy as best !

    As I was coming back after a sucessful search for our trash and recycle cans, I got stopped dead in my tracks by a gust.

    Think I saw a couple of those float by down here. They were on their way to Texas!
