Wind is blowing 8 bells here

At least! Branches down everywhere and stuff hitting the roof like grenades. I'm assuming thost's whatever walnuts hadn't blown down in the windstorn last whbenever it was. This wind is coming from the southwest so I hope it's bringing warmer weather. I was planning on going to the groce3ry store but I don't really want to get blown all over the road so I think I'll stay home and fix dinner from whatever I have.

Hope thowe of you in tornado alley are safe! Take cover if not.

S.E. Oh. I went to town early and it was calm. I got home around noon, and the wind had knocked over my empty trash can and the lid was in the road. I was doing some actual work on my laptop and heard something scudding up the road. I thought the wind had seized my trash can again, but no. It was a large cardboard box from who knows where.

There's a wind advisory until 8 pm.

Strong winds. I still need to pick up tree branches all over the property. Eventually I'll run them through my wood chipper, and put them in my compost pile for the vegetable garden.
