Close Reefed Tops'l Breeze



Navy talk for a windy day. Today and yesterday were unusually warm, in the 70's which is 20 degrees above normal. Quite a change from the 20's of 2 weeks ago. The morning was quite pleasant with a nice breeze at 7 AM went I got breakfast. I walked out 20 minutes later and a gale was blowing, a Force 7 to 8. OK landlubbers, about 40 miles per hour. Shown are the flags blowing straight out and a piece of roofing blown off of one of the ANA buildings. This is a preview of the "120 Days of Wind" experienced every summer. The barometer is dropping and dark clouds forming, so rain tomorrow. That's a good thing.
