WPC – The ‘Unlikely’ Return
….after yesterday’s windstorm it was very unlikely that today life would return as a normal spring day so quickly
The forecast was for more wind but not as severe as yesterday but with all the damage that the storm did I thought it would take a few days for things to return to normal. Even though today is a Saturday, people are already having repairs done to their roofs, the streets have been cleared of debris and tree branches and entire trees and couples and families are out walking and enjoying the sun. You can see from the photos that the water is still pretty choppy but it’s not keeping people from sitting at the shore to take in some rays or for some brave souls (or foolhardy) to get into their boats today.
I know that the damage that you see here may not seem like much, especially if you compare it to the damage that a hurricane or tornado can do but two people did die during this storm from falling trees and 100 000 people were without power.

Too Windy
…..too windy for what?
Too windy to take photos of flowers
Too windy to walk safely on the street due to falling branches and roofing tiles
Too windy to sit by the lake (too much spray coming up from the waves)
Too windy to clean the yard
Too windy to eat outside (too much debris blowing around)
Too windy to sit on the deck and converse (the wind is so loud)
Too windy to sit at the computer too long in case of another power outage
