The Answer is blowing in the wind.

But at least the Pub stays open.
 
Windy here today too and temp upper 70s. Forecast to get gust up to 50 mph. Western part of the state is even warmer and windier. Extreme fire hazard for them.

I saw a poster in Green River,Utah,where they had questions (& answers)
that people had while visiting there. (1977).

Q - Why would anyone live here?
A - Some of us have jobs here,some of us work at the
missile silo,& some of us just like it here.

Q - Does the wind always blow this way?
A - No,sometimes it blows the other way.
 
70s today, slight breeze of 30mph, with gusts of 50+mph, and a lot of moisture. Must be a front moving in from the gulf.
 
At least its not a (shhh) tornado. You get lotsa those out there. I'd be scared s^^^less.
We used to live in tornado alley (southern IL) and had one come through the outskirts of town. Luckily it was in a sparsely populated part of town so no deaths or injuries, but a lot of property and tree damage.

I'm from the part of the country where they are common enough that we go outside to watch and make up our own minds whether or not a funnel is going to touch down. What do weather men know?
 
………. What do weather men know?
Back in the 60’s there was a weatherman on one of the NYC TV stations that was predicting massive amounts of snow for the upcoming weekend. As it turned out the area only received a light coating and not what was predicted.
Well the very next week the restaurant association tried suing the TV station since their weather forecast caused lots of dinner cancellations in many of the restaurants in NYC.
Of course the restaurant association lost the suit.
 
Around here there's an old joke that the reason the National Weather Center is located in Oklahoma is because you can learn about all the nation's differernt types of weather here without having to travel. There's also the joke that we train the rest of the nation's weathermen because forecasting is so tough to do here.
 
Typical New England weather forecast:

Some may think he is joking but I can verify that statement from personal experience.
 
Down here the sun's out, temp is 78°F and it's raining at the same time... :p
 
Strange weather here - 72 degrees and bright sunny skies.

Got a feeling we'll pay for it in due time...
