yep.. its just numbers.. there were an outbreak on march 1952 that hit lot of counties and killed 209 people here in Ark. I looked for informations to see if it did hit conway county or not? the closest one was Faulkner county so nothing to do with here. oh well.

Welcome to windy Wyoming

CHEYENNE -- As far as meteorologists are concerned, it was a classic springtime storm.

Wind gusts began at 3 a.m. Friday and continued throughout the day. Speeds ranged from 50 to 60 mph, with a high gust of 67 mph within city limits, said Don Day, a meteorologist with DayWeather Inc.

Winds blew stronger northeast of town, with one report clocking speeds as high as 84 mph a few miles off of Horse Creek Road.

Day said the region experiences similar squalls once or twice every year.

"It was a little unusual (for May), but I would not characterize it as extraordinary," he added.

"This is one of the windiest times of the year. (Friday's storm) didn't break any records."

But the wind did increase service calls to Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power.

Electric operations manager Bill Stockman said crews started working at 3 a.m., responding to 12 outages, including knocked-down street lights and power poles throughout Cheyenne.

In one case, a family-sized trampoline blew out of a backyard and into nearby power lines.

A plastic kiddie pool disrupted service for another neighborhood, while one early morning power outage near Ridge Road and Pershing Boulevard cut off electricity to 700 customers.

Lt. Mark Munari from the Cheyenne Police Department said debris torn from the roof of Cheyenne Regional Medical Center temporarily closed Evans Avenue between 22nd and 24th streets.

Officers also directed traffic at Hot Springs Avenue and Lincolnway after winds blew over a power pole behind Burger King.

Stockman said the power outage started shortly before lunchtime and lasted for several hours. The initial outage affected several blocks until crews contained the problem to the restaurant and a couple of homes nearby.

High wind speeds normally add service calls, but Friday's combination of wind, snow and ice increased the storm damage.

"Winds were higher than normal for a longer period of time," Stockman said.

He added that he was glad crews only had to respond to 12 power outages. Two teams worked throughout the day and into the evening, while a third crew remained on standby until winds died down.

Stockman said most customers are patient and understand that when there is wind there will be service disruptions. But homeowners can avoid future problems by securing any outdoor items that could blow free. He added that anyone who notices a downed power line should stay clear and call the power company for assistance.

Well looks like I have the day off from work tomorrow. My DD has an ear infection. I will take her to the doctor first thing in the morning and get her some antibiotics then run some errands that needed doing anyway then come home.

Poor thing has tried being a good trooper all weekend as it developed Saturday afternoon. We ran to Wal-Mart while we were in Dardanelle and got her some pain relievers and fever reducers to give her some relief until tomorrow. She's ran and played some but then she tires out sooner and then just comes in and lays down on the couch for an hour then she wants to get up and play again. She's whiney but that is expected with her ear infection - I wouldnt call it comfortable by any means.

Then our water problem in hindsight is hilarious - anytime we ran water in any of the sinks, showers, dishwasher etc, it was coming up the downstairs toilet and overflowing!

Mom was scooping it out of the toilet and into the sink next to it and then it [the toilet] would fill back up, lol. We finally got a 5 gal bucket and scooped water into it and then dumped it outside.

We called all sorts of plumbers left and right and finally one came in around mid-day and he pumped out our septic tank. Problem? Well it was two problems actually.....
1. The main line was jam packed with grease. (not me folks)
2. Water was seeping into the septic tank faster than it could be pumped out. Our 750 gallon gank managed to fill a 2,000 gallon truck.

I blame it on the recent rains and the underground spring next to the tank.

For now it is fixed but tonight I am taking a long hot shower lol - I hate going a day without showering.

a friend of mine called and asked me to go to her house and help her and her mom do some things such as mowing, moving stuff from the carport, etc. Normally they would do it themselves but my friend is a former co-worker at the poultry processor and she has asthma so severe that she is on a nebulizer treatment and wears oxygen at night. Poor thing. She can scarcely walk from what her mom has told me. We will see what we can get done tonight, this may take place every night for 3-4 days until its all done. But I'm about to go upstairs and change into my mowing clothes and head out when my mom gets home to watch my DD.
