12.18.2021 Wednesday, we had the weirdest weather day. It seemed to hit most of the central United States. Here in Wymore, we had a rainstorm go through that was moving fast. It only lasted about 15 minutes with the hard rain and then just light rain with high winds. We had high winds of nearly 80mph wind gusts for about 12 hours. When it wasn’t gusting, it was 25 to 35mph or more. The rain came from the east and the wind from the Southeast. Truly weird weather. Kansas, where my son lives had more sustained high winds. Parts of Nebraska as well. The temperature was 70 degrees. So, so crazy. There were broken trees, limbs, garbage thrown around and lines down everywhere. We were without power for about 5 hours. Thank goodness we had a generator for my oxygen concentrator. The portable doesn’t last that long without a recharge. I heard of several tornados across the state. I don’t know exactly how much damage we had locally, but earlier in the week, Kentucky lost many buildings and people to tornadoes that made a huge swath over about 150 miles. All of this in December of all months. I think we all need to be praying.
