Somebody...

...on the west coast has severely pissed off the weather gods. I'm not sure who or how, but sacrifices may be required to set things right. First it was the torrential rains and turbidity, then the arctic front with it's snow, ice, and sub-zero temperatures. Now it's the wind. We've been hit by at least 3 windstorms this week and as far as I know there are more on the way. As I lay in bed last night listening to the wind and rain pound against my windows, I wasn't entirely sure that my home was going to make it through the night. The neighbour of a friend of mine had their skylight blown off and she herself lost her eaves. There were many downed trees this morning and plenty of other damage including 180 000 or so homes without hydro. I have two friends who are in Vietnam right now, worried about a typhoon that may or may not be touching down. Forget that. They should be happy they're not here. Too bad when they come back they are going to find that their building has blown away.
