SCARY WIND!
I am an east coast girl, a city girl really. When I moved out to the mid-west I was told to watch out for tornados. They sound like trains people told me. It did not help that our first home was a little trailer next to a railroad track. Whenever I heard that noise, I never knew if it was a tornado coming for me or the 7:23 headed to Chicago! When we moved to Iowa, it got worse. You could never wear a hat in Iowa. One day the wind bent the steel door to our apartment building. I had nightmares about tornados. We have lived a few places since then but now we are back in my home territory albeit in the suburbs. We have had some scary wind storms. I don't remember wind storms like this being here before. In March we had a doosey of a windstorm that blew down several trees including one that crushed my house so you can see why I am not too partial to them. Last night the wind was so loud I could have sworn the freight line took a wrong turn and was passing through my property. The wind is still kicking up outside. I can see those tall trees swaying from where I sit. Yikes!!!!!

Oh, Ana -- my sympathies are with you! I've always hated serious windstorms and feared such things as tornadoes and hurricanes. My thoughts are with you as these winter storms run through your area!
Wind storms are so scary. And tornadoes are even scarier. Hope you are safe! Hang on tight! Hugs!
yep..this minnesota girl relates...sending you love from minnesnowta..thank you for your sweet comments on my site also...
I'm petrified of wind. It was so bad at one point that anytime they forecasted heavy winds I will go to my mom and dad's house. I'm doing better coping with it but still hate wind. Last night we had some fierce wind too. I laid on the couch listening to it howling. I didn't sleep much to say the least.
Stay safe!
@slmret - @adamswomanlost - @fortheloveofblogging - so far we are doing fine...just tramatized, I guess! Some people lost their electricity around here but we even managed to keep ours...
@portiajules - you are welcome, Charlotte... happy snowshoeing!
Hang in there -- I hope tonight is calmer!
@slmret - the wind blew in gusts all day but it is quieter tonight ... it knocked most of the remaining leaves off the trees ...
I once had a nightmare about mini-tornadoes. I was on top of a table shooing them down and cowering.
