When are the winds going to die down here in my neck of the woods? When??

I woke up with a start at 2:00 AM this morning. Buzz was already awake. What the hell? It sounded like the house was falling down. The walls were rattling, windows were shaking, wind was howling! Neither one of us feel very safe up on the top floor of the house when the wind gets to going like that.

So, we packed up the cats and went to the basement. We got all snug and comfy and warm and fell fast asleep. Until 4:30, when it was time to get up. I reset the alarm for 5:00 and went back to sleep.

Now, we're running behind but, damn, that was a good two hours of sleep! It was so quiet and calm in the basement!

We're trying to think of a reason to sleep down there again tonight...
