And they came tumbling down…

This morning @GardenGerty mentioned the wind in Kansas, and let me tell you, it’s doing a number in Oklahoma. My dad’s house lost power because the wind took down his power lines. Thankfully, I still have power, but I am getting alerts on my phone to avoid certain streets due to the power lines falling over the roads. Not that I’m going anywhere. Is the wind whipping you guys around?

Wow, that's scary. We may have some big winds tomorrow, but probably not like that fortunately.

They had to shut down portions of the highway because the wind overturned a couple of semis. It’s crazy right now.

@snowy22315 I really don’t know. They said the wind speeds would be excessive, but I don’t know that they expected this.

It took out some more of that other cedar tree, but no power lines. I hope you continue to be connected and your dad gets his power back soon.

From the parking lot going to the church, I was shielding myself from the heat of the sun with my umbrella but the wind almost knocked it off. Btu the wind wasn't strong enough to be destructive though.

It is somewhat windy here today too, not near as much as your area is experiencing. I hope that you and Sadie can stay in and stay safe and that your hydro remains on.

Stay safe. Hope all goes well and normalcy is restored soon..We too had power cut for few hours today as they were moving power lines for the new metro station coming near our place. We didn't realize it as we have a power back up in our apartment.

Yes I just came from the grocery store and the wind almost pulled the grocery cart out of my hands while taking my groceries to my car. Then driving home the wind was pushing my car.
