Hey insane wind: you owe us all a good night’s sleep

Hey, wind. What the hell was that all about?

Sunday night / Monday morning saw wind gusts of 9,000 mph 70 mph in The Coachella Valley.  If you are like me, you noticed the crazy wind when it blew over all of your shit outside just after you went to sleep.  Then it just continued to howl all damn night and well into the morning.

I made the mistake of looking outside at one point, only to notice the 30-foot-tall palm trees of my neighborhood swaying so far back and forth that I am really surprised (and consider myself quite lucky) that one did not end up landing in bed next to me.

And I was not the only one who noticed…

Hope you enjoyed your howling, loud, and crazy night, wind.  Now you owe us all a good night’s sleep.
