Well not like the 70s. These days I can get the same sensations by standing up really fast...

*snort*

We had an exciting late afternoon. There has been a storm blowing here and the waves have been at least 6' or higher all day! It was very warm today, and we drove into Gulf Shores to pick up a package at the Post office and hit the Wally World for groceries. The sky was dark and lowering, and looking at it, it looked as though a tornado could form at any time.

When we got back, SirKit, David and I went down to the beach. The wind was blowing hard, but because the waves had been coming onshore and moving way up onto the beach, the sand was pretty well packed down. David played in the surf for a while and though we just stood there out of the water, the waves rolled over our feet, and about every other one was large enough still to splash up and soak us.

Then we went and sat in the hot tub for a while and listened to the wind howl. There has been a steady 25-30 mile wind all day, but there were some 40-50 mph gusts while we were soaking. It was just wild! Sir Kit found out later that we had been under a tornado watch all afternoon! I wasn't surprised.
