Blustery winds


Last Thursday, as well as today
has recently gotten, was very
windy. Sort of like people say
Chicago is, hence the name
"The Windy City". Thursday it
was so windy that the house
(yes, it's technically a house
according to the deed) I live
in was actually moving slightly
from the force of the wind
outside (a forecast of up to
60 mph). I went down in the
basement that night to do my
laundry and saw some pieces of
dry wall had fallen on the stairs.
Those winds were almost hurricane
force, which is really scary,
especially since the craziest
weather that I have seen in Maine
recently consisted of temperatures
of 20 below zero, and the ice
storm in 1998 which crippled the
whole eastern coast.
