Wind Storm

So we had a wind storm today. The temperature reached the mid - 60s, but it was still cold outside.  When I was walking to my car after work, I had to stop and rest and catch my breath a couple of times because the wind was so strong. 

I had to work late tonight, and then went to do some shopping before I got home. So I arrived home a couple hours later than usual.  Haiku was at the door to the garage, making her distressed cry, but it made sense to me today:  I was late; and the wind was howling.  She went into the garage, made it to the closed garage door, and stood there and cried.  I brought her into the house, and she was fine.  

Throughout the night, I could hear the howl of the wind in the kitchen vent fan or in the creaking of the house overhead when a particular gust was very strong. 

Wind storms are interesting.  They might be nothing.  They also might cause more straight line wind damage that an F1 tornado. For sure today, there was dust blowing.  

And, we did not received the rain the forecasters speculated we would receive.  Not yet.
