McElmurray's Mountain Retreat!

 Incredible winds for the past two days and the forecast is for at least two more days of wind. In our 25 years living here we have never experienced winds this strong. We are getting 25-35 MPH wind with gusts to 60-80 MPH. More trees are down and those still standing are swaying back and forth severely. The house is being constantly pelted with debris and to go outside is hazardous as it is similar to being sand blasted. We lost power for 9 hours. We have had more high wind days in the past 6 months than calmer days. This may be life in the mountains but I am very tired of the high wind.
