Extremely high fire danger today with low humidity & high winds. A friend just emailed that there is currently a fire with road & trail closures in the mountains. I am too far north of that location to see any smoke.
We got home from church yesterday & our flag was down in the yard. I had it screwed to a piece of board & that was screwed to the tree with substantial deck screws. From the flag/pole whipping back & forth, the board broke. There is a piece on the tree still, but the larger piece with the flag & pole was all the way across the driveway & out into the yard. Our very large Eco can garbage can was gone when I looked for it this morning - it had been blown past the garage & around the corner of the house. We have tree debris all over the yard.
This wind is nuts - I will be glad when it calms down.
Wind is the worst. If it’s coming from the West, fine. If it comes from the East, which it sometimes does, it always wrecks something on my greenhouse!
Our house is well insulated but you wouldn’t know it on a windy day.
