Windstorm
Published at 11:15 on 17 December 2025
Last night was the worst windstorm since moving to my current location four years ago. Normally the ridge to my south protects my locale from high winds. Not last night.
Didn’t get much sleep between the heavy rain slamming into my window like rain in a moving car hitting a windshield while going down the freeway, the house creaking and shuddering, and various bits of debris blowing around outside. At one point, some structure on my block with a metal roof started losing a piece of that roof, which really made a racket.
Somewhat impressively, the electric power stayed on through it all.
