Strong Straight line Winds Yesterday

[Platefire]

We got hit by straight line winds Sunday about 4:00 PM. These were some of the strongest wind I ever seen here. Even more than rude Hurricane Rita. We came out with the house very good and only had a storm door blown off. We have lots of big limbs down. Power has been out about 12 hours now and running on our generator right now. Been cutting up limbs closest to the house and clearing the driveway this morning. I'm thankful because it could have been so much worst

Glad you are OK! You be careful around weakened trees and idiot drivers.

2nd that he said^^^^
straight-line winds here will hit 80mph for minutes, pause to catch a breath, then wham.

Thanks! Power came back on last night about 8:30 PM. I'm kind of taking it easy today cause after yesterday of wielding that ol power saw all day my body feels like I went through a ringer washing machine and I got a little cold/congestion today. Kinda over did it but I had a neighbor helping and I wanted to keep the sawed limbs coming, otherwise working by myself, I would have worked a lot slower.  Going through this causes you to surely appreciate the normal life(retired)
