    Holy Mother Nature...wow
    So I live in Sahuarita...just outside of Tucson, AZ. We currently have hurricane force winds right now with gusts up to 60mph. It just picked up my 85 lb metal chair that was on my porch and threw it across my yard. WOW! My neighbors couldnt even pick up their kid at school as a tree fell on one of their cars and blocked the garage. We have another tree limb broken off and I am not holding out hope that the tree will make it through the night. It is just craziness over here right now. No snow...but geez!! Ok...gotta go chain everything down...lol:rolleyes:

    :mad::tears: I really wish we had floods in the san antonio area! We've been in a drought for more than a year. Our Family owns a lake house on this pretty big lake exept its down more than 75 feet and you have to walk a mile to get to the water! I hasnt rained for real here at all for 4-5 months.

    Hey all how did you fare last night?? I have lake front property now...woohooo! lol My entire back yard is a lake!! I let the dogs out and they just looked at me like..."ok...now what...you expect ME to go out in that"....:rolleyes: (they are soooo AZ babies). They said the wind gusts got up to 80mph in Tucson.

    Kuba I was worried about you guys as we heard there were a few tornado touch downs by you late last night? Those roads look like what we have out here. My hubby has to try to get to work which will be interesting as the road out is ALWAYS flooded really deep. So we will see if he is back here in about an hour.

    David - I predict with this big storm you should have HUGE clutches!! :D

    Hope Stalker still has a kitchen...this was just crazy and it is STILL raining!!

    Re: Holy Mother Nature...wow
    We're fine, there where a couple tornado touchdowns south of us but they didnt last. My yards are flooded, and in places that there isnt water there is atleast a foot of mud. A wash that is meerly a minute away flooded over its banks making it over 100 feet wide, and in some places 20 feet deep. It didnt stop pouring at all over night, non stop. It is still raining as i type

    I'm at I17 & Jomax. Our pool overflowed and flooded the backyard. Wind only got up into the 50 mph range so trees are still standing. Luckly we kept power!

    Still crazy here up north too. Alot of snow and freezing temps but then all of a sudden it started raining! That was a lot of fun. Every road was solid ice after a couple hours. It was funny watching all the employees where I work just slide right by the entrance.

    I know all about those sort of winds. We live not far from the mountains and in the springs especially we get some UNREAL wind. I'm from Kansas so when I say unreal, I really do mean it.
    The big one was 2 years ago, did millions of dollars in damage, dented in my garage door. It was crazy wind.

    I spent 2 years in Kansas. There sure is a lot of wind sometimes. It can sandblast the paint off of a car. I used to go up to Mt Evans back then whenever I got the chance to go there. The Rockies are great.
