This is some wicked wind!
Edited on Tue Aug-17-10 08:04 PM by Catshrink
All the recycling bins people already set out are blown over and part of my neighbor's roof just flew down the street. I could barely force the back door open when I tried to go outside to find out what the crash was. (It was a gardening trowel hitting a metal post.)

I wonder if it was a microburst? I'm thinking the damage would have been worse. I might go for a little walk once it settles down a bit.

1. The heavens just opened up in S Chandler - definitely a flash flood.

Pouring like mad! And my automatic sprinklers just went on - go figure :P

Alot of strong wind before the rain - is it raining there too?

edit to add - one downed tree in the back.
