Wind Damage, Very strong winds and Hot condtions reports

here is a photo of A large cottonwood arm that split a part from this tree by the winds in the Northern part of Clayton.



We had some Very windy and Warm conditions across the area today, Many places reached the 90s for the first time this season and wind gusts were over 40MPH in many areas, a warm front and low pressure to the west is what brought us these hot, sticky and windy conditions. Dust blowing from the Fields south of Clayton

Dust could be seen in the air today, making it look hazy, with a brownish tint, to the air, in some spots it was actually hard to see across the road due to dirt blowing off the plowed fields around Clayton, I was surprised to see that a large arm off of a tree ( in the above picture) was blown down, There were also some other trees down along Highway 63, in this same area, here is a list of reported temperatures and wind gusts Here is a photo taken on the Northern part of the Village, This photo was taken from Mr. Norm Murry's backyard. The wind was especially Strong along the lake shore!

White caps could actually be seen on Lake Camellia Today, In my yard, My wind gauge reported a 46MPH gust in the afternoon, This is the highest wind My wind gauge ever reported so far Since I started recording.
