Lotty you either love it or you hate it and I love it. At home we live on the windy east coast. When the wind blows it takes your head off. I call this "dog walking weather" not that we have one. As long as my ears are protected I love it. We have had our share of storms over the past week as well but when it comes to thunder storms I don't think Turkey can be beaten and to be staying on the cliff at kabak , wow!!!
