Tell me about the palm fronds, Yankee - my whole back yard is knee deep in the suckers. And it's not even my freakin' tree! I'm just glad it's not close to the house - those things are a lot heavier than they look and could easily go through a window. Not letting the dogs out back until this wind event is over.
The only time I remember a non-tropical wind storm like this was about 1982 or 83 in Oklahoma. We had a proper Oklahoma red dust storm with winds over 70 mph. The dust was so thick it looked like evening - all the street lights on and everyone sick and sneezing. Lasted three whole days - one to really get going, day 2 was the worst, and day 3 to finally start winding down. Took forever to clean the dust off of everything, even inside. I see some wraparound clouds trying to make it down here now. I was hoping to at least see a pretty sunset with all the dust in the air, but looks like we'll be cheated out of that show. Oh well, just hoping the power stays on at this point!
