Weathering the Storm
When I went home at lunchtime, the wind was blowing hard, gusting VERY hard. The rain was horizontal. The road outside the office was almost flooded over. And just outside the driveway, a huge walnut tree was down across the road.
The magpies started foraging for something — worms? — outside the kitchen window. When I left to come back to work, the wind had died down and birds were flying everywhere: gulls, a red-tail, crows, warblers, magpies. There will be lots of hunting for the rest of the afternoon.
The wind may have died down but the rain’s still coming. A tree nearly hit the lab at work and they’re cutting through it now to retrieve the power line. Everyone’s gone home….
