foxmonkey | YIKES!

Holy JESUS, the winds are high tonight! Seriously, I haven't been this freaked out by high winds in a long, long time - and we live in tornado alley, so that's saying something. :-( Man, tornado season gets here a little earlier every year, it seems.

I can hear twigs and things from the neighbors' trees hitting the side of the house - the bedroom wall, naturally. Methinks I'll be camping out in the living room tonight. Gawd, I hate tornado season. :-( :-( :-(

Eeeeeeeeeee, I hate this. All the little thumps and whaps and the trees whipping around and something just rolled across the deck. Waaaah!

::is even more skeered::

Wind: 20 mph/32 km/h from the SSW Wind Gust: 24 mph/39 km/h "Showers with a chance of thunderstorms. Windy with lows in the upper 40s. Southwest winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph."

Shit, now I hear something rolling across the roof. Waaaah! I love my house! I don't want to end up flying/riding it to Kansas!!!

See, I'm in the bedroom near three windows, so I can hear this stuff. Monkey!hubs is in the front of the house with a John Wayne movie blasting, so he can't hear it. He's like, "Really? I can't hear it!" when I jumped off the bed and ran in to tell him that our lives might be in mortal danger of being snuffed out by a falling tree. He blinked a couple of times and laughed at something on the screen. Husbands! I think he's confident that the tree overhanging the back of the house has been properly trimmed and pruned and so won't fall and cave in the roof. Go Hubs!
