Tumbleweeds invade West Texas home
MIDLAND, Texas (AP) — A brutal storm system that brought 19 inches of snow to some areas of West Texas has delivered something entirely different to one homeowner.
Winds in excess of 60 mph that accompanied Monday's blizzard pushed hundreds of tumbleweeds against a Midland home.
KWES-TV of Odessa and Midland reports one side of Josh Pitman's home is obscured by tumbleweeds stacked one atop the other, blocking some doorways.
Pitman says he recently tore down a fence that would have protected his home from the rambling weeds.
He says it's the "most ridiculous thing" he's ever seen.
He expects to spend the rest of the week clearing away the tumbleweeds.

"He expects to spend the rest of the week clearing away the tumbleweeds." And hopefully replace the fence he took down that would of protected his house...
Looking at all those against his house just screams to me "spider haven"... just burn it... house and all...Â
How is this a story worth reporting? Â This happens every time the wind blows in Central Oregon -- and that's just about every day. Â I've got tons of them if anyone wants to make a reasonable offer. Â =)Â
Sell them to craft stores.
"He expects to spend the rest of the week clearing away the tumbleweeds."
He does yard work about as fast as I do.
@Kushfan Now he has to re-build the dang fence
@WendyTeagarden He was for it before he was again it.
This story calls for a classic. Remember, I'M ON VACATION !!!
