(57,457 posts)I just hung up a few things on the line. The wind is up, from the northwest. I am in Alexandria. I still have blue skies, but I think they won't last long.
I had a window open. It is now shut.

There was a thunderstorm warning saying there may be trees knocked down from high winds but I haven't seen it here yet.
