all we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see....

last night i was awoken by the feeling that trees were going to crash down on us. it was so windy. i was actually really scared, since we are literally surrounded by trees. this morning several schools were either delayed or closed. billy said that something like 10,000 or so were without power (according to google). my poor sunflowers are totally flattened. my mums were upside down. even stuff on my porch (which is enclosed with a couple windows opened) was knocked over. and there were branches all over the place. i know this is really minimal compared to texas. i could not even imagine experiencing that if i thought i was going to have a nervous breakdown last night from a few branches ending up on the ground.
