[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 421004, member: 1233"] Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I just started taking zyrtec for allergies because benadryl stopped working and none of the other allergy medications helps. The zyrtec knocks me out but the doctor says if I tough it out through that for a week or so it will stop. The wind howled all night that night and off and on tonight. Not as bad tonight by a longshot. The weather people said that it wasn't gusting over 45mph (wild in other places, pretty normal blustery day here) but it had to be a lot faster than that. I went outside and had to really lean into the wind - it was kind of fun. Doesn't take much to amuse me, does it?? In all the time we have been here I have not heard the wind sound that loud even when we had tornados really close to our house. I am just thankful that husband no longer goes outside to look at tornados (tornadoes? mind is blanking on how to spell ). There was a really huge, nasty awful bad tornado the first year I was away at college. Only time in my memory that a tornado actually caused damage/touched down in the city limits here. husband and I hadn't met yet and I was away at school in Austin. After we had been dating a while, husband and his roommate told me about the tornado. They had an apartment on the main road through town and worked at a copy place across the street. M, his roommate, was working all night on a big job - and the building had a huge window instead of a wall at the front of the building. husband heard the sirens and that a tornado was going through town so he went out and ran across the street to where M was at the store. Instead of going into the back room that was safe(safer) in a tornado, the idjit men went out front. They stayed behind the counter (normal shop counter, NOT any real protection!) and watched. They actually saw a twister go down the street for a block or so before it took off and went about 1/2 mile and touched down in a residential neighborhood, destroying about 5 blocks worth of houses. I am SO GLAD I didn't know him then because that would have totally freaked me out. It took quite a few years but I finally have him trained so he does not go outside to "explore" when their is a storma nd he does NOT go storm chasing with the kids. He and thank you did build an anamometer (think that is the right word) yesterday. husband asked for a straight pin because he couldn't find any. Ended up using a wire brad, popsicle sticks and dixie cups and who knows what all else. It spins and they count how many times it spins per however long to figure out how fast the wind is going. I think it is pretty cool. Glad all of you are doing okay and didn't have storm problems! [/QUOTE]
