I am a little SSE of you in the Indianapolis area. We had gusts of hurricane force last night. There were some over 70 mph between 9 and 11 pm. You could see the effect in the water level in the toilets. Weird. I sure would not have wanted to have been driving between here and there on I-65 last night. I was coming home about 9pm and the road would be covered with leaves blowing so fast it looked like a river of leaves so that you didn't know where the road ended. Or all around in the air like big brown snowflakes. The wind here now is only about 15-25 mph with gusts about 40-50 mph, I think. Blustery is the word that comes to mind.

I did read in the paper this morning that the wall of some restaurant was knocked down by the wind, injuring two people.

Sounds like the Bernoulli effect on the plumbing vents, possibly. Any plumbing experts out there?
