Anyone else think its a bad sign when my house is shaking in 55mph winds on all floors?

This might provide to be an interesting hurricane season yet...

Naw, that's normal. "That which doesn't bend breaks" and all that. We're just starting to get the wind and rain up the bay in Annapolis. The water's pretty high out there. Looks like we'll have some local flooding as the wind pushes water up the bay.

Is it new? 55mph ain't exactly a zephyr. Anyway shaking's not so bad, it's the falling down that's the killer.

i must add my corollary:

"that which bends in resonance with the wind breaks in dramatic fashion! take pics"

This is from my house. Ernesto packs a lot of water...
On the upside, we were able to for a few hours paddle over to the river...

I was thinking we could get a bunch of inflatable pool toys and have sex with them in the middle of the street...

If that doesn't keep my crack head neighbors at bay, nothing much will.

What's really funny is that my landlord tried to tell me that this wasn't a real flood risk. In my head the nagging voice of reason knew better, but like a NOLA dumbass I believed.

Mayby I ought to call the Army Corps of Engineers.

I called him and offered him some space in my garage, but he thought all was well.

That bike has been sitting out there since we moved in here back in mid-february.

It has been gusting 90kph here today (54mph), and couldn't feel a thing in my house.....even in the sunroom built onto the 2nd floor deck. :)

*edit* although the glass is vibrating a lil on some of the big windows.

Hey Tat,

We didn't get much rain or flooding but we lost power at 5 pm Friday and didn't get it back until 2pm Sunday. We had us a nice little camp out. Bastard power company.
