I can relate.

Funny story about the storm last year. I lived in this old house and was in the process of moving out. We got married last November and while I (and the cats) were in Sean's house, we still had the "dirty work" to do in closing out the old house. The house had rats and was dirty and we really had procrastinated. We got out the stuff we wanted then had huge piles of stuff to go to the Goodwill and the dump.

We finally HAD to be out by the end of November because I refused to pay rent anymore. We had a weekend scheduled to do all sorts of nasty things like clean out the fridge and clean carpets and all of that. Since I had been gone, there was more rat activity too.

We got to the house, this was after the storm, and there was police tape over the driveway and TWO trees crashed into the roof.

Our first thought? To high-five each other and say "woohoo, we're not cleaning the carpets!". The house was knocked off the foundation and the front door wouldn't close even. We did walk in there just to see how it was and one whole side of the house was gone. Scary stuff and at least I no longer lived there.

So I am mixed about the wind. Mostly it scares me but good CAN come of it
