North Texas had that wind last evening and most of the wee hours. I could hardly get to sleep last night for the wind and the occasional creaking of the house. And my satellite box that fit on the side of the house that receives the cable from the big box in the alley, etc., came open in the wind and kept banging over and over some time around 2:00 a.m. Thankfully it opened to the Southeast so only swirling wind would bang it, mostly it was kept closed by the wind coming from the North/NW. I wasn't about to go out in that cold wind to try to climb a stepladder to close it as it takes a rubber hammer to really close it past a clip unless you're really strong. But the wind blew on and on. It just howled at 29 - 30 mph., gusts much higher. Sounded like we were having a blizzard outside. Even today it was still quite windy but tonight is completely calm, windspeed 0 right on Weatherbug.
