Windy Weather

Today we woke to heavy winds. I heard things banging during the night but was not too concerned because wind is common here. Unfortunately windows and doors in our house had been left open and one of our outside doors was swinging and it was torn off its hinges. It was laying in the yard outside when I got up. It was blowing so hard that I had to walk my bike part way to work. We had winds during the morning to 50 mph so we worked inside. The short time we were outside I saw roofing panels from the derelict buildings flying around and a limb blown off a large Ironwood tree that was nearly 6" in diameter. The winds are diminishing but it is still very windy. We hope for calmer conditions tomorrow.
