*high wind warnings in effect until 10 pm CST* means you're going to lose anything that isn't bolted down apparently.
We had some gusty winds the last few days and it only got worse yesterday. When I left for work I had three trash cans outside, one tall one that was halfway full, one short one with recycling, and one short one with yard clippings (aka grass). When I pulled into my driveway I had ONE trash can with a lid on it, one lid and one trash can.... the missing lid was in my neighbors yard two houses over... the missing trash can was found by my other neighbors in their backyard.
I don't know how that happened.
I watched the wind blow while changing little mans diaper and realized there was not a single bird out. The ones that live in street light were visibly being shaken as it swayed with the wind.
Thankfully, nothing really happened to any of our property other than the trash cans being lost for awhile and the fence planters falling down... a sad goodbye to my sage, basil and cilantro... it was nice while you lasted.
The dogs HATED going out when they needed to and when the cover to the bbq came off they lost their shit! They were barking a the backdoor like someone was trying to break in. Which would've been funny had I not been having a serious conversation with a friend on the phone during that time.
So yea... just another really windy day in North Dakota...
