It was a struggle to walk out to close my gate going against the wind; it was a struggle to keep from being blown down and overshooting the house on the way back. My two vehicles are visibly rocking and bobbing in place. Dust and gravel stinging my face, visibility limited. Too noisy to talk to my wife walking beside me. Patio furniture has blown up against my fences. Fortunately my home, though exposed, is very quiet and a respite and refuge.
