When I made my Skywarn report to NWS they said that they had clocked reports
of 70 mph plus straight line winds. My neighbor lost more roof off of his
barn and about 5 big trees down. The wind was so hard it was blowing water
up my metal roof and pouring it in through the openings in my continuous
ridge vent and blowing it in through my soffits. I also lost three 10 foot
roof panels on my porch roof. WHEN it dries up I am going to have to get on
the roof and look at the caulking around the ridge vent. This is the second
time since we moved here in 1998 this has happened - first time was several
weeks ago, but not close to the amount of water this time. Rain total was
over 2 1/2 inches in about 20-30 minutes time.

Wow! Our wireless Internet service was knocked out last night about
2100 hours local, Bee Creek will no doubt be running around the area
today replacing toasted access points.
