It is 5:20 pm here in eastern New Mexico. We live on the high plains and lately the winds have been severe. But my hubby, our rescue dog, and I are all snug inside our cozy little house with the new roof, so we’re good.
Have a good night. I would ask how you are but I see that’s already been asked and answered. 🙂
I’m sorry, I hope your storm isn’t as severe as the storms we get here. Within the past 5 and 1/2 months, we’ve had a tornado-warned hail storm total our car and the roof on our house, an ice storm the day after Thanksgiving, and a 2 day blizzard with winds over hurricane force, that began the day after Christmas and left our entire town without electricity for 21 hours. That Goliath storm blew down three huge grain silos approximately 1/4 mile from our house, it blew a freight train completely off the tracks 4 miles from our house, it blew my husband’s wheelchair ramp away, destroyed much of our fence, further damaged our roof, and killed over 30,000 cattle in this area.
Back in 2012 we had a super cell storm with hail the size of softballs. That storm also destroyed our roof, totaled our RV, and severely damaged every roof in town.
Until my husband and I moved to this area 6 years ago, I had no idea that any place in this country had such extreme weather. Last Saturday I was walking the poodle on a warm spring day with clear blue skies, when a sudden dust storm hit from the north. I picked up my little dog and ducked down behind one of the many abandoned buildings on Main Street, then called my husband to come and get us even though we were only a couple of blocks from home. The strong wind and abrasive dust was just too much to walk against, and I am not a petite woman. Within a 2 or 3 hours, the temperature had plummeted from 70 degrees to only 22.
The one good thing about it is that it’s never boring here! Also, real estate prices are crazy cheap 😀
