for over 24 hours the wind was howling. It was really cold too. You can see the sand blowing if you look closely at some of the photos. It's finally calmed down and I'm really tired from not being able to sleep and being super cold in this old drafty apartment. The windows were rattling and banging. It was almost like being outside. I've never lived in such a rough place. No heater. No AC. it's ok most of the time but I can say say I sure miss being in a cozy quiet place.
