Dodging tree-sized tumbleweeds is fun…..

I came home to get the kiddo from preschool. Fortunately, I was ahead of the worst of the stupid.

It was actually nice this morning. 20ish mph wind and 55 degrees out.

Yeah, I made the nephew drive a cabless tractor to town this morning.

We lost power and internet for about 15 minutes, and I was going to be bummed if it lasted longer since I have two virtual client presentations today. Fortunately, the wizards of electricity fixed it quickly.

It's getting worse again.

****ing shit wind switched directions. Out of the north now. :Lin:

Expected winds at 60 mph here today, with gust up to 80 mph.
I fully expect a mess tomorrow.

Front passed



100 MPH wind gust at the Air Force Academy

A bunch of Kansas schools are actually ending school early today to get kids home before the worst of it hits...

And now I70 is closed out west...

They closed 83 to garden. That bitch never closes.

Pretty intense line of thunderstorms from Grand Island NE south to Salina. I work at a greenhouse and we had everything opened so the wind would blow through and the plastic was still snapping like crazy.

Oh man, look how fast those are moving on radar.
