15-minute hurricane

Posted by on April 8, 2026

We had a storm blow through a couple of weeks ago. It didn’t last long and didn’t produce much rain but the initial winds were FIERCE. The first gust send the RV rocking as severely as any wind I have experienced in the13 years that I have been living in an RV. Fortunately my new awning was in or it may very well have been ripped right off. My lawn furniture and the totes I had under the RV were blown to the other side of my site.

The worst damage to my site was the loss of my bougainvillea – It snapped off at the base. There was also considerable damage to neighboring tiki huts, similar to the damage done by category 5 Hurricane Ian 3 years ago.

It didn’t last long but I think that storm produced hurricane-force winds for about 15 minutes.
