Texas sandstorm rodeo!


Yes sir, I got pulled off of the road this morning and to the house. Lots of damage in the area today. The peak of the storm had sustained winds 50 to 60 mph with the gusts at 80+ with dark brown skies.

I'll count my blessings, only damage sustained at my house is an antenna that's now permanently bent like a banana. As @Brother DXer told me via text, it's replaceable.

It was a nasty one!
A couple of city pictures I took before the peak of the storm hit.

This is what it looked like down here too. But our max winds were only 65 to 70 mph. The antennas survived, although I was a bit worried for a while.
I'm glad they sent you fellas home.
