We occasionally get high winds coming through the canyons above Bountiful,
Centerville and
Farmington, but the ones we got this morning were record setting. They started around 2:00 am and by 6:30 am the power was off and the winds were up to 100 miles an hour. Pretty
eerie not being about to find quiet place anywhere in the house, and fearful the roof might be damaged, if not blown off. I have a new appreciation for those who go through tornadoes and hurricanes on a regular basis.
By the time the winds settled down in the afternoon, the power was still off and the winds had done a lot of damage. Gratefully, our home came through unscathed, but others were not so lucky.
7:00 pm, the power is back on and the house is warming up. There are times I really, really want to be back in Bangkok. Today was one of those times!
