The wind is wreaking havoc out at our place...Stuff is blown everywhere and before I can even attempt to survey the damage, the wind comes on again... Our poor greenhouse is taking such a battering, we keep having to make repairs all the time. It's no wonder either. We're in such a windy part of Texas, that the largest windmill farms are just a stone's throw away from our property, literally.
The second day I was at the hospital for the c-section, the wind actually blew the front door of the hospital off its hinges. I kid you not.
And it has continued blowing and blowing. In Malaysia, you'd have to go to the beach to get such wind.. and even then it's a breeze compared to this
Here's part of today's weather alert :
