I've been in all kinds of storms. Tornadoes, freak rain storms, blizzards, ice storms, thunder storms, earth storms... but I hate wind storms. They are the only ones that bother me, and a lot. Someone come hold me.

I hate them too, power has flickered a few times tonight but so far have not needed to fire up the generator.

Lights flickering, car alarms going off. I went out to clear the driveway of "northwest salad", the broken limbs from our firs and hemlocks. Each year they give up bushels of limbs and yet, on close inspection, always appear the same. It is as if those limbs have blown from farther away.
I found some roofing material by the cars. Somebody is going to have a leak.

I don't like them cause I have some old trees, and they lose limbs, especially the pines. Pines are fuckin' useless. You can't even burn the wood they drop :^S

I know what you mean. You can't even play something to pass the time because the power could go out at any minute.

I also hate them because my neighbors tree will land on our bedroom and slice me in half

Hate is a strong word. Jesus didn't hate anything. Try to be more like him.

I've always wanted to see a Tornado. Wind storms don't bother me especially living by the beach.

Dead? That's harsh dude....

Jesus lives! :awe:

I'm glad I'm not the only one dealing with NW salad. I actually had 2 trees torn down because they were too close to my home when I bought it. The 2 in front still toss branches though, so I try to keep from parking under them. It's just a mess :(
