That old Irish blessing “May the wind always be at your back” has special signifigance this year...

We had a severe windstorm a few days ago..it was still windy yesterday, calming down today. Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s day, hopefully little or no wind and I’ll go outside.

@SW-User A woman was hanging onto an awning and the wind lifted the awning up and she left go and fell, the awning went over the fence. It also blew a train off of train bridge. Here in Oklahoma it blew over power poles, blew back metal roofs, blew awnings off of gas pumps. No telling how much roof damage or broken tree limbs.
