    Default Ugh, not good, not good!

    We are in the middle of what is shaping up to be a huge wind storm. I am not kidding, the news says our gusts are up to and over 80mph. I have lost the roof of my greenhouse, it's gone. probably in the next county by now. Our hottub cover (we've never hooked it up, it's just sitting there waiting...) has blown off, the clips broke under the stress of the wind. I had to get our trashcans and bring them into the yard, lashed them to the fence...about 50 yards from where they belong! I had to move the van because the tree it was parked near is making me nervous. We've lost power at least twice. at least once before i woke up (alarm clocks were messed up) and once when i was working on the computer. Limbs from neighbors trees are all over my yard, i even have some of their goodies from their trash cans. nothing icky thankfully, just books, papers, etc. A shingle blew off the roof while i was lashing the garbage cans and whacked me flat on my back. Didn't hurt.

    yeesh, i sure know how to have fun, huh???

    man that is some strong wind. I hope it doesn't cause to much damage (more than it already has......sorry about the roof of the greenhouse and the hottub cover) I also hope you don't loose power due to it.

    It's the residual air of Mil leaving town. (sometime there is a delayed reaction) Sorry, couldn't resist.
    Seriously though, sorry for your damage & hope things calm down soon.
