Wow, we had some intense wind here a little bit ago. The wind speed was 40mph. It blew our trampoline a block down the street. My dh had to take the lawn tractor down and drag it back with a tow rope. I'm sure it's ruined now. The top supports, that hold the safety net, are completely bent down.

The kids and I were playing a game at the table, when the trampoline lifted up off the grown and toppled over and over down the street. Needless to say, it scared us all. I was afraid it would hit a house.

The Kansas weatherman calls 40 mph wind "blustery." We don't even get high wind warnings for winds of less than 40 mph. The wind blows here so consistently the trees all point north. It normally blows 5 to 15 mph every day.

Iowa is quite often windy too, but this was straight. It even tipped a truck over on a rural highway nearby.

The wind is blowing strong here in Oklahoma. We get high winds all the time.

Tornado Warnings are being issued here...and weather guy says fast moving storms with winds 40-60 mph will not be uncommon.

I guess I better pay attention and look outside every once in a while to make sure all is well here.

The NWS finally issued a statement stating that winds speeds were as high as 60 mph. There is quite a bit of damage in nearby areas too. Here are some pictures of a town south of here. The third picture is a bench, that was bolted to the cement.

Oh, my! It is windy here today also. But it's always windy here in the spring and early summer. Then, when you need a breeze, there is none to be found.
