We'll see what tomorrow brings. Yeah, right. Thank you sir, may I have another!?
I knew there would be a lot of wind, but I didn't expect so much to happen. All weather outlets told us the wind would knock over trees that had been weakened by all the water that has fallen thus far. What we got was a lot more. This pine tree fell in Lucille Piggott's Greensboro backyard, but it did not hit her house! A couple of small Dogwoods, a Pink Azalea, and her gas grill got taken out. Lucky Lucille.
This steeple on Centenary Methodist Church in Greensboro got pushed over, but didn't come down.
The sign at the Downtown Greensboro Hardee's took a hit too.
I also spent time at the PTI airport where many flights in and out of GSO were cancelled.
This sign, one of many hanging along the road outside the airport terminal advertising an upcoming skating competition got slashed by the sheer of the winds.
On my way back to the station I saw this set of traffic lights swinging in the wind at Hwy 68 and Thorndike Road. Some drivers were not sure how to handle that. A dangerous situation on a major intersection.
Then it was off to Guilford College for some basketball. The #1 3A school last year hosted the Mennonite Royals. The only team that can beat the Quakers. And tonight they did it again in a big way, by about 30 points.
So, yet another action-packed swing shift is over. I'm exhausted. For the first five hours of my shift I did not stop. I had a break for refueling me and my news assault vehicle, then it was on again.
