Tumbleweeds Invade West Texas Home


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.

A broadcast report by Midland station KWES shows one side of Josh Pitman's home 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.

"Most ridiculous thing I've ever seen," he says.

He expects to spend the rest of the week clearing away the tumbleweeds.
