wind

I've been through 40+ years of West Texas duststorms and February 26th was an absolute doozy.

As winter slowly turns into spring, Lubbock has entered the dreaded phase of our weather where every day is much more windy than usual.

The Texas wind has already been relentless this year.

For two days in a row Lubbock, and the rest of West Texas, have been on high wind advisories and warnings which can spell disaster for most people.

While looking for some pictures of the West Texas wind, I came across an old post I did. I added a few more and put them on wonderful photo backgrounds from my friends. A Haiku is a simple poem with five syllables, followed by seven syllables and capped with another five syllables...

Is your head pounding?

Just a crap load of tumbleweeds, doing what they do best...tumbling.
