redneckgaijinNow that I can see, I can definitely say hurricane force winds here at present. The limbs of the trees here are blowing dead sideways just like all that footage the TV news folks wouldn't stop showing of Galveston... except there's a lot more trees here.
The highway is acting like a huge wind tunnel, channeling the wind while giving it a free unobstructed path. Thankfully the hedges and the trees around the house provide a bit of shelter, so I'm not getting the absolute full force of it on the house itself. Mostly. Occasional gusts do shake the house, and I do mean shake in the literal sense.
All in all, got about four to five hours of sleep last night, mostly broken into two shifts- couldn't get to sleep since my previous post.
Just checked weather.com's radar; the worst of the storm is still yet to hit here. The eyewall (what's left of it) is going to miss me about twenty miles to the west, which means that the wind is going to pick up even more shortly. In three hours, though, the worst should be past...
... I really ought not to say such things...
