Some of the support posts inside are cracked. It is a big barn (50x50 feet)

A friend just told me that two 100,000 bushel grain bins are laying across the railroad tracks 7 miles North of me . They were just built about 3 years ago.

106 mph wind 17 miles north of me. My weather station registered 74 mph.

Luckily I had just cut down all of the tall trees around my house about a month ago. They were all dead from the Ash borers.

I feel for you Leon ,,that has to be thought out very carefully ..I can see big pole props put up on the side leaning ,but until there is no more winds ,,best to just stay out of the barn.. it was 1962 when winds of 100 mph in my area in Oregon .. took down a lot of barns.. be safe my friend .
