What? Extreme weather in Los Angeles?

It's been howling all morning; I woke up blearily and slowly to the sound of wind beating against the side of the house. Now I'm sitting in the den, watching the trees thrash outside and listening to the wind whistle in the chimney. Every few minutes an especially strong gust comes whooshing up from the canyon, bringing with it a cloud of dust from the neighbor's lovely construction project (read my article about my feelings for my neighbor at Overdue Karma, my friends' brilliant website of wittiness). The trees are bent nearly to the ground, the deck furniture has all been blown over and against the walls, and the cat is sitting cautiously by the window, flinching every time the wind roars.

Yeah, it's kinda scary, but I LOVE THIS WEATHER! I love it because I'm sitting inside where it's warm and I can't feel the wind, and I'm sipping hot chocolate and writing, cozy inside my house.
