Storm blew in and all my sprinklers are going off in 5 zones and can't stop them! No water pressure in the house now. Power flashes everywhere. This is nuts. Going to sleep. Guess yard will be green!

You don’t have a shutoff valve for sprinklers?
Or Unplug timer?
Yeah - wind woke me up too- blowing crap all over the yard

I am about to hit it. Have to dig out mulch in darkness and 70 mph winds. This is nuts. Can't find it. Neighbors is doing the same. Makes zero sense. Controller is set to off and won't start other zones. Getting a shovel now to hit the shut off box.

Thanks! Got to the shutoff! Hasn't been touched in 14 years so that was fun! All is good now and water pressure normal.. geez. Covered in mud, drinking a beer, taking a shower and going back to bed x2. Jfc flag

Now who wants to come fix this crap!

Got small limbs and leaves all over the yard.
What time did this blow through North Texas?

Found one branch in my front yard, it did not come off one of my trees.

Not much here in Parker County, just a few small tree limbs down.
