This is Not Good!

Friends of ours traveling back from their trip to PHX stopped in shamrock TX for the night. Said they drove thru 60 mph winds all day. Never been thru anything like it. Smoke and dust, difficult driving conditions.

Went to a steakhouse for dinner and got kicked out as they were
evacuating the town. Ended up going to elk city Oklahoma for the night.

Wildfires in Texas, tornadoes in Chicago, blizzard in Iowa. Mother nature can be a crazy bitch, and it's not even March.
