Crapper Jim Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 My best guess here today is about a 45-50 mph gust, last hour. Wind dying quickly now. <Got 15 gourds stuck in a tree (from summer) I can't reach... was hoping to have some blown down today. Seem to be hanging by threads. Guess I need some firearms.

gritsnc Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 That was a crazy storm! Knocked over my chairs on my front porch and a planter. My neighbor has gravel along the side of this driveway and it all got washed out into the cul-d-sac. I thought for sure a tree was going to break, but none did that I can see.

Crapper Jim Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Are they bird house gourds? Yep... about 30 of them from one plant. Gonna soak 'em down, scrub, base... and paint (probably not). Wondering why the board is 'dead' despite potential around the triad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
