Disgusting Wind Storms


One of my least favorite things about Lubbock is the wind storms. Not only do they threaten to knock you down, and make it to where your baby can literally not draw a breath, they blow dirt.

It is advisable not to wear a hat or have lip gloss on during a Lubbock wind storm. Don't leave the door to your car open, either, because they have been known to blow back and hyperextend if not blow off completely. If you are a toddler and are carrying something, be prepared to be knocked on your rear, and drop everyothing that you were carrying. This happened to Syd this morning on her way to school and she was frustrated to say the least. Stay in the house, and be sure to shut the flume on your fireplace.

I guess I won't be going to get a pedicure today. Sigh.


Edited to add that the picture taken is not from today. It is from Feb 2007 during a wind storm in Lubbock! I just added it for dramatic effect.
