Video: The Wind Is The Strongest We’ve Seen. Even Zip Was Hiding. I Almost Got Blown Away (Really)

by Jon Katz

We have the wildest wind ever. I am thinking of the people down south who have suffered much more severely than we have—there are no tornadoes here. With the wind blowing, there’s a good chance of a blackout tonight when the rain and the winds worsen. I might not have power for the blog tomorrow, but I wanted to share our walk in the pasture. As you can probably tell from the video, the wind almost knocked me over.

Zip is fearless; I’ve never seen him hide before. He won’t come out of the barn, smart boy. The White Hen, who seems to be struggling, was safe and dry and fed inside the barn.

Tonight should have been exciting, and our walk was. Maria had so much dust in her eyes that I had to take her arm. I was nearly blown off my feet more than once. It was eerily beautiful.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. There’s no flower art tonight.
