Extreme Weather!

AAAH! The wind is insane right now! I'm sitting in the living room with my mom, and we're both being lazy and reading (well, she's reading and I'm being lazy), and every few seconds we both perk our heads to listen as a huge new gust of wind roars past the house, literally rattling the window panes and making the house creak and resettle on its old foundation. And with each new gust we both laugh rather helplessly at the sheer ferocity of the wind. Funny, it's pretty much our most extreme weather of the year, and it's just as unnerving, I think, as any other sort of storm could be. Occasionally the lights flicker as a power line falters, or the cold begins to seep around the doors. With particularly strong gusts I can feel the air from the nearest doorway, which has somehow wormed its way in through the cracks.

So here we are, cozy but unsettled, listening to our house stand up courageously to the wind.
