and this morning
Storm's gone and passed. It started picking up last night when I was walking home, and all evening all I could hear was screaming wind.
Everything's calm now. We didn't, to my knowledge, lose power, which was my main worry. I've been lucky so far, I think. But it's another reason I'm glad to live in town and not the middle of nowhere anymore.
In a way, though, there's something fascinating about storms. It's hard to say because I feel like I'm belittling people who have been affected, and that's not what I want to do at all. But it's just... interesting. And sort of calming in a way. I feel like all I've been hearing about over the years is money. And I don't understand money, because at the end of the day it's something that isn't even real, it just exists because enough people say it does. I have a lot of trouble wrapping my brain around the idea that something that's basically made up could ruin so many people.
But when a storm comes by, I can see how it forms, and why it takes the path it does. Storms happen because of reasons I can understand. I mean, I'm sure money happens because of reasons other people understand, but it's all a bit "because I said so" for me. I'll take the weather, thanks. Even when it's horrible, it happens for a reason.
