How do you prepare? If the power goes out, I can’t grind coffee beans, so I just ground enough for a few days...

Good lord - my chimney needs tuckpointed (again!), but there's no cash, and clearly won't get it done before storm.
I know AEP went around and really did serious tree trimming in the alleys, where the power lines are, in my neighborhood this summer - hopefully, that'll keep limbs of the lines and the power on.

chimney tuckpointing. I used to worry about my chimey falling over in high wind when a roofer guy told me that the chimney moved on him when he was up there. the Chimney guy (Soots Me) told me that the chimney was fine, they can move and my chimney wasn't going anywhere. it still needed tuckpointed because of water getting through the cracks.
FYI
Soots Me did an awesome job and is very knowledgeable about chimneys. check angie's list if you have it.

Is it just me or has it been abnormally
windy the last couple of years? Or do I just care more because I don't enjoy watching the siding, gutters, etc get ripped off my house?I don't think it's just you. I've always lived in Ohio (20+ years) and I don't ever recall seeing a High Wind Advisory before the wind storm in 2008. Maybe it's because that's the first time that winds have done any major damage that I can remember.

My avatar pic was taken on my side street during that last wind storm. The air ship worked great!

They just installed that wind turbine at the Byers dealership at 270/Sawmill, I wonder how much power it will crank out during this weather episode.Most wind turbines will go into a version of forced shut-down (or should) during a wind storm, so that they aren't damaged. They can only spin so quickly before bad things happen. It's ironic, I know.
ETA: It isn't that they stop spinning, but that they'll spin at their max rate and no more.

If you have not seen pictures of the amazing system that is causing this here today you should check it out. Massive low pressure (heat convection cell) now over Minn. It's the biggest and most intense low to come through the area in quite some time, rivaling hurricane Ike and the great storm of 1978.
Check it out, it's beautiful. So much energy!
