The wind today at Keeneland was fierce. It made looking at yearlings an adventure. About 5:00 a big tree fell onto barn 18 which is located right next to the sales pavilion and across from the back show ring. Nobody was hurt and the people seemed more shook up than the horses. I just got home about 15 minutes ago and on I-64 towards Louisville from Lexington there was a tractor trailer cab totaled from getting blown into a rock wall. And when I got home my neighborhood which is full of huge, 100 year old trees looked like it was bombed from the downed trees, downed power lines and debris from houses that had trees on them and roofs off. My house had little damage thankfully though my front yard is covered in tree limbs that were cleared from the road to make it passable.
