A thunderstorm cell just rolled over my office around 3:25 and the wind gusts were bad enough that I got up from my desk and moved away from the windows. My entire wall is windows though with a couple large trees really close so it’s pretty sketchy in a bad storm.

So this JUST missed my house. Wild stuff!

Camera footage from house looks crazy. It was only a few seconds but holy shit did it move some air.

No real damage to my house that I can see. I need to get on the roof though.

Crews are still cleaning and the road is still blocked off.
