I thought it was windy here last night during a storm that came through...35 mph. No comparison to the Amarillo Winds.
Ralph, are the rains getting you yet? A little windy here, but not too much for what we're used to. I think they heavy rain is expected here around noon...but you can sure tell its coming.

Ahhh….ok. I'm not really tracking on how fast this is moving. They're calling for 1.5" up to 4" of rain here. Probably not catastrophic, we get that and then some during the hurricanes. Then again, some still have blue tarps on roofs from Florence in '18.
2.26 inches of rain last night here in my neck of the woods foothills of NC.

Foothills of N.C...hmmm. I’m in Davidson County Uwharrie Mtns. Youngest son lives western N.C. in Haywood County, Smokey Mtns.
Pretty sure I’ve done some mountain biking out there.
Ya know...back when I was a young stud
Do you talk to the boys around Gastonia like CPR and Wallbanger?

Talk to some folks in Charlotte/Concord area on SSB occasionally but those names don't sound familiar.

That bend in the Francis antenna ain’t just from running 70-mph. That’s tooling up US-287 (looks like) on a typical day towards where it gets (very) windy on the Llano Estacado. Still a fair altitude climb to Amarillo. Where seeing 26-miles across flat landscape is nothing remarkable.
This is that mild stuff likely near Rivermans place. (Or, could be I’m south of Lubbock on US-84; can’t recall).
West Texas: where old folks don’t leave their houses in spring.
Someone comes picks them up and parks in their attached garage to do that. (That’s in trying to avoid a house call by undertaker).
The antenna would’ve snapped off it it weren’t braced by mirror head & arm.

Can’t help but laugh. I recognize area. Too fast for conditions. If he’d taken 3-minutes to slide the tandems all the way back and run slower he still would’ve gotten to the shipper on time.
That wasn’t the only gust he corrected for.
But, ho no! He have much chrome . . . the chicken lights.
Beeeg truck!! Eees ex-Werner Pete! Eleven Liter Detroit!
Ten Speed!
Ha!
Shoulda heard the pair of maroons I caught up with near Brinkley, AR and their whining about IH80 across Wyoming.
Fathers must have gone extinct to see and hear the type.
