Leaf Clearing Winds Last Night

[Firea100]

The winds in Southeast Michigan were crazy strong last night! Blew all remaining leaves into the St. Clair River! The wind was blowing out of the Southwest, basically through our property from Back to front! When it gusted, you could see how strong the wind was by how much debris was air borne. Our daughter lost power last night, haven't herd if she's been put back in service yet this morning.

Hold on to your hats this morning!!

That front hit us about 3 am Friday. No leaves to blow but I swear I saw a cow come flying by! In town they said the peak gusts were 87 mph.

Hey, that cow was from Oklahoma but you can keep it, we have plenty. We had the winds and (of course) the accompanying grass fires Thursday, I believe the highest sustained winds were about 50 mph.

Yep, we had winds with gusts between 60 and 70 mph with 40 mph sustained yesterday! It was pretty tough to try and work outside that's for sure.

I stopped that cow here in Michigan. We're having steak tonight. It is still blowing out there.

We have not hit the heavy wind season here in NM yet. 50+ MPH is typical. The hard part is the climate is dry and dust, sand, tumbleweeds and wal mart bags are flying everywhere. When AZ goes flying by, it is a typical windy season. Jim
