Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 20, 2022

Storms, the sky is clear. Maybe an instant High wind.

That’s one well built house.

Toto, Go get the Wizard, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.

Wait a minute! I’m the Wizard

There is nothing like a bit of sarcasm.

Lightning has been detected in your area.

Nah, it’s just Sir Rod taking his disguise off……….

At least one storm.

Did “Sherlock’s” Home just get a new natural skylight?

Blue skies doesn’t indicate that severe a storm. I think the more likely explanation is that that was an extraordinarily fat and heavy squirrel which unbalanced center of gravity the tree couldn’t handle.

I guess that the Wiz got to the root of the problem.

“Now can you use your Wiz powers to remove the tree and fix the house back up?”

Yay! We finally found out the Wizard’s name!

We were supposed to get rain yesterday and last night. Didn’t even get cloudy.

“Sherlock” doesn’t have a clue!

Is there anyone out there from Tornado Alley who can give us some harrowing tales?

When trees are illegal, only criminals will have trees. I’ve noticed trees and falling limbs seem to do a lot of damage and even kill a lot of people Maybe we should look at some tree licensing or permits or something. Just saying.

Gasp!

Or maybe the tree got tired from standing too long

I thought the Wizard lived in a castle

I think they might need a new roof.

That would be my yard about a month ago – right after the tornado.

Give the poor guy a break, he’s a wizard not a detective.

right this minute neighbor’s trees being trimmed IN wind

Meteorologist on the local news station missed it?

That looks familiar. My wife started the grill on a clear bright day. While she was preparing the food for grilling, the clouds swept in and the wind came up, massive wind, a little rain and lots of blowing leaves & debris reducing visibility to about 10’. The grill, with the wheel brakes on, started rolling by. I opened the door and turned off each burner in turn as it came to me. Then a tree came at me out of the swirling madness. It took out the deck railing, flattened our greenhouse and landed perched against the eaves. An exciting 5 minutes, then it cleared up. Not even extensive enough to show up on the weather report (“wasn’t that great day we all had today”).

This looks like a job for Captain Obvious
