Wind outside is already quite strong. Tropical storm force, with nasty gusts. No rain, really. I just felt a few stray drops blowing on my neck.
Maybe it's better not to see what's going on out there. It'll be quite a surprise when it's all over and I finally take a look. I expect not to recognize my street.
So, did you make any peepholes??
Good. You'll be glad, I think. Half a window was too much, IMO.
Also, if you have any trees near your house, keep up with the wind direction during the storm on your local radio station so you can position yourself anywhere but downwind from the trees.
