October 3

Today was windy... and when I say windy I mean "hey where did the roof go?" windy. A huge huge storm came through. I never knew what people meant when they said the rain was blowing sideways until today. I would imagine this is what a hurricane feels like. Trees lost branchs things got uprooted, dunes moved, tides and waves become dangerous, and the house was shakeing in its foundation. The power got knocked out, scary to think that one of the concrete powerlines fell over.

Being next to the ocean you really are at the mercy of it, and you really see how powerful nature really is. Especially here you can see how fast weather can change and how the advice of wearing layers should be taken seriously.

But today learned how nice it is to have solar lighting and run almost entirely off the "grid"
