The Brick clocked one of today's gusts at 36 mph -- but we've had worse since then. Storm clouds are blowing in; we're supposed to have rain the next few days, and snow on Sunday!
The Mama was terrified of high winds, because it reminded her of tornadoes. She apparently learned this from HER mama, for good reason.
My grandma was napping upstairs in her house one sultry afternoon when a tornado came through and literally upended the house. Grandma's brother found the 16-year-old in the basement, with the stove (cold, fortunately) on top of her.
Some good came of this. The young photographer the Grand Rapids Press sent out to photograph the house became... my Grandpa Cumings!
