That's crazy! Yeah, given that I haven't been down here for even a year yet - and this wind is something that I never have had to live with before my move, I'm really not liking the wind.

It is pretty insane. And yeah, people new to the area get really nervous about the wind. I can imagine it sounds pretty scary if you've never been around it. And to be honest, it IS dangerous. It's just kind of like living near a fault line, I guess. You get used to the regular shakes and then only the really big stuff becomes scary. At least, that's what I assume it's like, haha.
Here is a picture of one of our haboobs rolling in:

Wow! A dust storm! We get those sometimes, but they never look like that.

I totally just did 25 squats, 10 crunches and 10 situps!

Haha, nemo. Isn't most of California living on or near a big fault line?

And yeah, the dust storms are just crazy. In college, we had a facebook page called "I don't go to class if the sky is brown".
This is what it looks like when you're inside it.

Amane: *takes all your rain*

Mag: Haha, true. But we have wind plus fault line. We were on the road actually when the San Andreas Earth Quake hit in '89, I was almost 1. So I don't actually remember it, but my parents do, and our house was just a couple miles from the fault line at the time - don't know how far we are from it at the moment (where my school is from it).

That's why I could never do California. Heat and earthquakes. We've had, like, two(?) earthquakes in my lifetime. I can only remember one. I woke up at the end of it and was too tired to comprehend that I should not have been shaking.
As for the heat, heat = BUGS and humidity.

I love California though, but honestly, I love Northern California better than Southern.

California really doesn't have humidity... don't assume things like that.

Sadly, that's all dust. That's what happens in summer when the winds cause parts of New Mexico to come visit us. If we have a lot of rain, it doesn't happen, so rain is our friend

Yeah, we're technically on the edge of Tornado Alley. We had a tornado destroy the city in 1979, but that was a long time ago. We've had a few little ones since then, mostly in the middle of nowhere, so very little damage.

Humidity tends to accompany heat.

We get tornado warnings all the time, but I cannot recall a time when we actually had a tornado even nearby. In neighboring states, though, yes.

Lol, Amane. Not so much, actually. In my part of Texas, it's so hot and dry that I live on lotion. But in Eastern Texas, where they're by the ocean, I had to put dehumidifiers in all of my closets. East Texas never got quite as hot as where I'm from. Humidity tends to follow ocean and large bodies of water.
You're right about buggies, though. Bugs love warm weather.

Well, around here, heat means at least a little humidity, which means my hair gets ruined, which means I'll be screaming and crying from the pain of brushing it out. The air doesn't get dry until the winter, which messes with my wrists, plus my hands if my wrists get bad enough.

Ugh, I don't want to do anything but sleep. The antihistamines are kicking in SO hard core. But my first student shows up in like twenty minutes.

At least it hasn't been too bad since that last big one in '79. My parents have floods, although in the 13 years that they've lived where they live, it's only flooded once.

Still don't assume that that is how it is for you that it is like that everywhere.. Northern California, or California in General is rarely humis so therefore.... Humidity doesn't always come with heat...

We get lake-effect snow sometimes.

Nemo, I thought it was that way everywhere because I've never heard of anything different. I don't mean to offend you.

I'm just tired of people assuming that they know how it's like everywhere, especially since most people seem to think that ALL of California is like Southern California... IT'S NOT! Don't assume that you know something about somewhere else if you haven't experienced it for yourself.
