Right now NOAA states we have sustained winds at 21 mph and gusts to 30MPH and my portable greenhouse tipped over. The metal poles and the plastic are ok-the potting bench with yes lots of plants tipped over too.
Bad thing is the plastic connectors-several of them broke-I wonder if I wouldn't have had that big wood bench in there if it would have stayed upright-grrrrrrrr.

The cold frame blew away too but was caught by the spruce trees so I dismantled it temporarily.

And the worst of the winds are yet to come-severe thunderstorms predicted in my area from 2-6 pm with damaging winds to 70 mph-I better move and secure some pots if that happens.

Such lovely weather......

Wind speed has updated-sustained at 28 mph with gusts to 38 mph-a big plant in a pot tipped over-everything else still ok. Across the road from me there is a good size house going up and they put on the roof trusses yesterday-hopefully they are well secured!!

Stay safe--two days ago hubby and the two kitties and I were laying on the basement floor becasue of tornado warnings.

Many funnel clouds were spotted in the area, and one touched down about 10 miles from here. Someone a few blocks from us was struck by lightning as well.

BajaOklahoma, should be 200 miles north
Pffft! That's just a typical breezy day in Oklahoma.


Yesterday was 40 + mph, with gusts in the 50s. The wind is what keep it from feeling so hot.
As my friend said, another day of whitecaps in the pool.

Well I had to pick up a far amount of pots-lily bulbs-two varieties can out of pots well I hope I got them back in the right ones!! The plants in pots just need some water but with rain in forecast......

The cats want to go outside-to bad so sad for them-its in the low 80's humidity not too bad but I'll stay inside for now I was supposed to weed at a clients house and I called her and said not in this wind!!
