Rotten, Rotten Plough Winds


The prairie plough wind is an uncommon event in parkland areas and Jim and I have been surprised by them twice, now. They are very brief, strong and destructive. This one twisted our scaffolding and took a piece of plywood and threw it over the roof. On the way over, however, it managed to take a chunk out of the ridge. We found the remains of the plywood over in the lot next to us. For interests' sake, the entire event took less than 10 seconds.

Jim straightened the scaffold in the dead calm of early morning and continued on with the siding. We have yet to hear from the roofing company regarding the roof repair.
