I have been out of town.  It was a harrowing drive home.  Very bad weather.  Small limbs off trees were flying at my windshield.   Debris would fly across the road then go back across the road in the opposite direction then scuttle back at an angle.  THAT IS NOT NORMAL!  I pulled over and went into an eating establishment since it looked even worse ahead of me.  The power went out and the rain and wind were so strong the ceiling began leaking water.  We used the iPhone flashlight for light.  The staff told the few of us there that if it got any worse we would all get in the freezer.   But we stayed by the wall with no windows.  Twenty minutes later it had passed and we were on our way home again.  Back to my brushes.
