    Unhappy East Wind--who wants it?????

    I am use to lots of wind in the winter months. Also lots of ice and throw in some snow.

    But when in the sam hill is this wind going to die down????

    So far our damages are minor compared to many others--two sections of the new fence are down, two huge limbs cane down and missed the garage and DH's truck -just got a couple of dings on the truck and the gutters off of the garage, a couple of patches of shingles came off the roof, most of the down spouts are truely down, couple of trees blew down in the back yard and we have lost power for many hours on many occassions.

    We live in the Columbia River Gorge which is know for it's winters--lots of high winds and ice storms, but this is wind over 60 MPH.

    Enough is Enough.
