Frosted Flakes: WBB Gets a Transfer, Feels Like the Dust Bowl, and Swearing Makes You Stronger

Will the wind ever stop?

We’ve had several days of strong sustained winds (25-40 mph with 50 mph+ gusts) here on the ranch. It has come from all directions and has caused a lot of damage in the neighborhood. One neighbor lost two bulk bins attached to their hog barn. One of the bins rolled nearly a mile and almost took out another neighbor’s pickup parked in her yard. (Fortunately, some people saw it coming and got it stopped at the edge of their yard). A dead tree fell on our road and Ranchhand 3 and I were the first ones there.
