Trip delayed due to inclement weather

I was supposed to make my way to Terlingua this morning but had to delay my departure due to inclement weather that will hit the Del Rio area this evening.

We have a wind advisory in effect from 7:00 p.m. this evening to 4:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time Friday.  We will have sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts 35 to 40 mph.  I am afraid the rotting trees might not make it.


From another angle.



We will also have a much-needed rain event that could turn severe with a slight possibility of hail brought about by a cold front that is on its way.  We are in the mid-'80s while the Texas Panhandle is experiencing snow and is in the '30s.

Just to be safe I parked the car in the garage.  Then I went and secured the outside of the house from loose objects.  Tomorrow temperatures should only reach a high of 68 with a low of 40 degrees.  We will finally be experiencing pleasant temperatures.

With strong winds expected wanted to publish this in case, the power goes out as it often does even with lesser wind velocity.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

    1. I tell you if it wasn't for bad luck I would have no luck at all.

      At least we got lucky and did not get the flooding San Antonio is experiencing.

      Thank you for your good wishes.

  3. So sorry you have had a delay but hoping you will have better luck tomorrow. I try to never drive in bad weather if at all possible. Too much of a chance for an accident, especially on slick roads. That is just crazy that the weather decides to cool off just as you are ready to go.

  5. High winds scare me. I think we are predicted to have one day during the coming week with 60 mph winds. With the fires burning in CA, that's all we need! Be careful and don't stand under those trees!

    1. We had several days of high winds while I was there.

      Have not had a chance to keep up with the news but I hope the fires burning in CA did not come to fruition.
