[WDT] 3-7-26 [NSFW]

Yea same around here, usually when you wake up after a few days of cold and all the sudden it is warm you know it is going to be a windy ass day.

 

Surprisingly we didn't. Today's more windy than yesterday with winds at maybe 15-20mph.

 

We’re in the winds lately. Red flag warning and multiple brush fires springing up in the area.

I don’t think I’ll be able to really work on beautifying our lawn this year, but I am going to start watering it. If I don’t it’s just mowing dust in certain places.

 

We've been getting sustained gusts up to 60mph here all afternoon. Luckily power has remained on and so far, worst thing it looks like I'll have to deal with is cleaning up a bunch of sticks from the tree in the front yard. But we're still under a wind advisory for another 3 hours, so we'll see.

 

It was beautiful blue sky this morning thought it was going to be a nice day now it is like this outside

 

76* and we're at a winery.
Sometimes $6.00 gas and insane home prices are worth it

 

We’re in a similar boat but our power keeps flickering. Which is annoying because a) it kills the wifi every time and my kid is dead set on a movie night, at this rate it’ll be 10 by the time we finish it, and b) every time the power comes back on, the ceiling fans in my bedroom and the living room come back on at 100% brightness, which is completely unhinged and a terrible design flaw. If it keeps happening we might have to sleep in the guest room since there aren’t any “smart” lights in there.

 

So last night, a fire broke out and engulfed a house in my neighborhood, about a block down. Not sure what started it, but it looks like maybe something in their RV and then it hit the propane tank.

I was out getting our dinner order, so I was five miles away and my wife is texting about hearing an explosion. Then I look on Facebook and the local scanner page is saying they’re evacuating….so I’m driving home watching a plume of black smoke and screaming at rubberneckers.

turns out it was just the adjacent houses being evacuated, and they were getting it under control. But my next door neighbor offered to park his hauling trailer at our place so I can clean up the dead tree that fell. I was waiting until winter was over, but it’s probably best to do that now.
