Wow. I went to bed around 10:30 last night thinking the severe storms had fizzled out. Boy, was I mistaken! From about 11 until the wee hours of the morning our house got absolutely battered! I don’t recall ever experiencing winds that strong from any storm that didn’t have a name. It was anything but a gentle rain! Things were made worse as the winds came from the south, right where our bedroom is.

The MT.Net weather station tells me we had a top gust of 20.6 MPH at 9:30 last night. Judging how my wind gauge is shielded significantly by the deck the gust was likely far stronger. Wow.

I remarked to Kelly how quiet the birds were this morning.

“Well, yeah!” she answered. “They got blown into Delaware!”
