Was windy when I went to Oklahoma City for a medical checkup, got worse, went to a restaurant for lunch….plastic bags flying up across the streets, trash carts flipped over, looked like floors mats and other stuff in the streets blown off of pickup trucks. Drove back towards home fighting the winds to keep the car straight on the road. Went to Walmart by the house to get a couple of things. The older lady that was greeting was laying on the concrete in front of the door when I was coming out of the store, someone said the wind knocked her down and 4 or 5 workers were trying to pick her up to put her on a handicap shopping cart. The winds were a lot stronger going out than in, leaves and trash blowing up in the park lot hitting me in the face. Figured all of the trash carts would be laid over since it’s trash & recycle day, and they were with a lot of the trash blown out into the street. Got home & mine was too, had to pick up bags of trash and sit it up. Came in with my stuff. Remembered that I left my Ipad out in the car. Went back out and opened the door and tree branch cracked and fell, felt the tip of a smaller branch hit me. I’m staying inside till this is over. Gusts up to 60 mph.

@Musicman I had a YouTube video on with music in it and when I left I played it for them. It was finished several hours later when I got home and they seemed OK. The winds are supposed to gradually go down this evening where they aren’t so bad.
@Musicman I remember when Baby used to have anxiety attacks and pace back and forth and say “Weep-Weep!” Over and over every time he heard them talk about storms on the weather. It started after a tornado went over the house sounding like a train.
@Musicman Put the birds in the hallway where the linen closet is in the hallway and got my purse & laptop & phone and closed the doors in the hallway, and crawled into the linen closet. I wasn’t scared like i used to be, just prayed for protection. Found a piece of house insulation in my front yard, it was dropping them all over.
