<------  Grapevine near the mall

Yikes!  I just made it home from my evening walk.  Bad timing.  

The wind just came out of nowhere.  (just high wind no tornado) I was walking along the trail by the golf course and started getting pelted HARD by sand, pebbles, sticks, crap!  At first I was laughing but then it started to freakin hurt!  It was coming pretty straightline so I was able duck lke a commando behind the rows of cars in my apt lot and miss most of the projectiles.  I was literrally see pool chairs, roof tiles, vent covers and big torn off tree limbs (25lbs) tumbling along the road.  Lots of lightning and lights of apt flashing on and off.  One spanish guy opened his apt door and was waving me in but I was reasonably close to home by then.

That was mildly exciting.

A part of my back yard fence has fallen down, and the house in front of mine had part of a tree lying in his drive way.

I here they just stopped putting scotch in its water bottle and that solved the stability problem.






Hope everyone got out okay.

Turned out to be a rough one for us. Our 30' large silver maple in the backyard (largest tree in the neighborhood) was the first casualty  :mad: Along with the fence and the neighbors patio furniture. Lucked out that it did not hit the neighbors house or ours. Took some roof damage and minor other damage along the front of the house.

It looks like a lot trees have snapped in half.  The only casualty I've noticed so far is the back fence..

I agree...
Zeus is pissed cause Aeris stole his lightning again... that son-of-a-gun... So now Aeris has to keep Zeus at bay by distracting him with exploding things all over the US... like a Tornado in Oregon a few days ago. :D

Ouch Raptor - glad it didn't turn out any worse.

You guys all need to move to SoCal. The people are nuts and the government's bankrupt, but the weather rocks.
