Hmm, entertaining and informative.

The snakes issue is a bit surprising. Makes sense though, if you think about it. All the creeping nastys are gonna wanna go somewhere to dry out and get out of that wind.

High ground may not be such a good thing in a big storm either. Lightning strikes would be more likely, and the wind will be worse for sure.

Yet another argument for me to build a fortress, wherever I finally end up. Oh yeah, don't forget about that check valve on the sewer feed.
