When I moved out here in the summer of ’04, I assumed that the weather I saw then was the way things normally are. However, in retrospect it was an anomalous year: wind, rain, storms up the wazoo. A 2000-foot tall tornadic monster lit up by 10,000,000 candlepower lamp bearing down directly on you is a sight not soon forgotten. But the summers since were comparatively quite bland.
This summer is getting off to a rollicking start, though. The wind today has been most impressive; my back yard is liberally littered with roof shingles. Sadly, they’re *my* roof shingles, so that’s a bit of a problem…
