But wind speeds last Thursday morning were clocked at 100 mph, which is technically hurricane speed winds. It was kind of crazy/cool/scary all at the same time. It is times like these that I am grateful we are renters; the repairs are not on our bill. This is some of the damage in our apartment complex.
Shingles were everywhere! Fences had fallen down, and tons of trees had either broken limbs or the whole tree had come down.
We ended up spending a couple days and nights at my parents' house because our power was out.
The weather forecast showed another wind storm coming on Sunday night, and with tons of debris that hadn't been cleaned up, the Governor was concerned. He encouraged citizens to do what they could to get things anchored down before the next storm so that more things wouldn't get damaged. Long story short, the Area Authorities got in touch with the Stake Presidents in the area, and our stake decided that church would be cancelled. So we spent all day Sunday doing a ward clean-up. It was kind of fun to see the whole neighborhood band together to get things ready.
The storm on Sunday didn't end up being nearly as strong, and we got everything cleaned up before it hit, so there was no more damage in our area.
I didn't realize those winds were up by you guys! That's crazy! I'm glad everything turned out fine.
ReplyDeleteWow. 100 mph! You could probably fly in that wind. Nice to be a renter for sure
