    High wind warning

    My weather radio just came on with high wind warning for tonight. Sustained 40mph and gusts up to 70. I'm going to hang in my pine woods out back. These trees are very thick and close together and I know they withstood this kind of wind before. Should be an interesting test of my rig.

    The wind has been blowing super hard hear all day. Really kills the propane consumption when it's blowing this hard. I can hear the $$$ blowing through the furnace. Good luck hanging out in it.

    Should be hitting us within the hour. Winds to 60. Possible tornadoes. Guess I'll sleep inside tonight.

    Is this how the world ends?
