I think it was 1989. James and I were living in Combine, Tx., s.e. of Dallas. We had a Victorian style house shaped like an 'L' with a porch on 3 sides. Master bedroom had its own entry door. We had put screen doors up so we could open the door in cool weather.
I woke up one night because a plastic milk jug that I used to water plants was blowing around in the 'L'. Got up to get it and it was strangely warm outside. Being half awake, I wondered why the dryer was on (dryer vent was a few feet away) and went back to bed.
In seconds, wind got very strong and I woke James. There was so much wind going through the house, the mini-blinds in the girls' bedroom were whistling. Closed their window, but (luckily) they never woke up.
Clouds were blacker than the night. Wind continued to build and temp jumped 20 degrees from low 70s to 90's. We could hear a rumble in the distance. Neighbor's large garbage tote went bounding across his yard and the road. James' 65 p/u was in the driveway and rocking hard. I had to hold on to one of the porch posts to stand. By God's grace, it missed us.
The oddest thing was the temperature jumped from a cool low 70's to very warm upper 90's. We lost a few singles off the house, but nothing else. Wind was so strong it bent the neighbors basketball stand made from 6" metal tubing/pipe.
We learned later it damaged some homes southeast of us, but no one was hurt.
