Last year was a particularly bad year. We usually get maybe one or two storms that near 40 per winter, and last year there were many, a couple that were really rather strong...the type that have happened once a decade or so. Hopefully we won’t have strings of these storms this year, just a couple. I’m really very easily spooked by them. Areas very near here had gusts to nearly 80. I don’t think we got that, I think we sometimes get some benefit from the hills of Capitol forest.
The high winds here make me nervous also, but I don’t have to worry about trees coming down. Think I’d probably head for a casino in that case. Somewhere where I couldn’t hear it or see it. Except what would I do with all the animals :)
