Strong winds blowing

It sounds like our unit is being blown apart right now - there are very strong winds blowing furniture around outside and the occasional gust moves the room we are sitting in! This wind was predicted for today but took its time arriving. It was calm all day but by dinnertime, the wind was strong enough that Bill couldn't keep the BBQ lit. It has increased since then but apparently is supposed to end by midnight.
It was cooler today - probably high 70's and predicted to be the same tomorrow but then the temperature is going up and is supposed to hit 100 by Sunday. Yesterday it hit the high 80's and felt like opening the oven door when we stepped outside.
We had a busy day today checking off our list of things we still wanted to do - mostly sightseeing and some shopping. Tonight we are hunkered down and especially glad not to be on Highway 10 where gusts like this are known to cause all sorts of trouble.
