In reply to the discussion: Last update to my storm pictures.... (Noon 2/10/13) [View all]Grammy23
(5,815 posts)of photographs and video I have taken during hurricanes or the approach of one. The trees flail like that and bursts of rain will come down, similar to the way the snow did in your video. There is something fascinating about watching weather, especially really extreme weather like wind and rain that is out of the norm for your area! We watch as long as we can out our front door and through the bay window in our kitchen. We have to force ourselves to stay away from the windows when the storm is raging. During Hurricane Ivan, we got up in the middle of the night (during the height of the storm) to check on things. We saw a tree down in the front yard as we peered out the windows ... didn't DARE open the door to look. While I was standing there with my hands on the window cupped so I could see out, I felt a huge blast of wind hit the window and the glass part sort of flexed...not the glass but the whole section of glass in the window framing.....and I figured that it was good time to step away from the window.
Hope you are safe and that your heater continues to keep you warm and toasty. After a hurricane, staying warm and toasty is not the problem.
