Last week we started getting news of high winds coming. Hubby took down our tarp and we brought in anything that we thought might blow away. In December 2007, there were also high wind warnings...those turned out to be 75 mph! Those are hurricane force gusts, so no one was taking any chances.


On Thursday afternoon we got the announcement that ALL schools, courts, public works were going to be closed on Friday because of the winds. They were taking this very seriously. We brought in our emerengency kit and got ready.

Even though the winds were strong, they weren't as bad as expected. We were lucky that's for sure. One thing we've learned here is that, if it has to do with the unstable weather, pay attention.
