GRRRRRRR

Oh and it was so strong the the cover to the truck was wide open. The 2 latches must've been knocked loose by the winds cause it was wide open and only held in place by the rods and where it attaches to the bed of the truck. Good thing it didn't go ripping off and down the street!

**************************

This is what kept me up pretty much all nite. The wind sounded like it was going to rip the house apart and then had this weird buzzing at the end. Until the next gust came thru. I need some CAFFEINE!!!!
