Well Last nite the " windstrom" came through this area. 30-50 mph wind, rain. more wind. I noticed it was bad.. how was this possible? Well aside from the whole day being outta wack, not only were there ash trees blown over, but also blossoming cherry trees. those things are pretty stout, not yesterday.
This morning when I assessed the entire yard. I found that my back yard now is covered by about an inch of leaves. The front yard fine, but the wind was so strong it bent my Flag pole.
My beloved American flag was hanging on my rose bush and the the free end of it was laying on the ground. Since it is one of those poles you can take apart, I was able to get the flag off. (Probably give it to the Boy Scouts to burn next memorial day at their annual event.) The pole how ever is stuck, it will be a chore to remove the pole. There is aways next Summer to start over... New Flag New Pole.
With this storm, make me think Winter is going to be a hard one. There is already some snow in the mountains.....
