Indeed she was.  Sort of surprised me when I saw that.

I hear stories about roofs coming off and see picures of that, but the
thought of that happening in any dwelling I'm in doesn't occur to me.  I
was taught at an early age to open windows a bit opposite the force of the
wind so internal pressure wouldn't build up inside the house.  We were
fortunate this time because the house faces almost due south; there are no
windows on the west side of the house and the extreme winds were coming
from the east.  And the cleanup/repair continues still...

Tell her it's hereditary.  (-:  I didn't notice that grey in the pictures I
saw of you.

It's what you think that counts.  I know women who go to the hair salon if
they spot a single grey hair on their heads.

I think it is, too.
