Wind

Today has been horribly windy; blowing dust, tree branches, leaves, and anything else it can catch through the air. The air is hazy and dirty looking. I wasn't surprised to hear there are several fires burning.
Dry + Wind = Fast spreading fires.
I didn't sleep well because of how loud the wind was. I was nervous driving to work with the car being blown all over the road and I was afraid I'd run into tree branches or fallen power lines. I'm surprised the power hasn't gone out at all. There was a bit of a flicker when I was paying our power bill at the hardware store but nothing since. I called my mom who is currently buying a house in Colorado to tell her to be thankful she was missing it. She hates the wind and I now understand why.
