goseawardQ. Hey Goosey, how windy was it this weekend?
A. Well, I left two windows open in my apartment Sunday night, one at each end of the apartment. This is usually enough for a nice cross-breeze. Here's what I found when I woke up Monday morning:
- Two of four potted plants from the windowsill on the floor. All four were in 6" pots; the two in plastic pots were blown over.
- The two remaining plants, both spider plants in ceramic pots, had ALL OF THEIR LEAVES POINTING AWAY FROM THE WINDOW. These were plants that used to lean so heavily towards the window I had to pull half the leaves away whenever I wanted to close it.
- Dirt from the plants had been blown across my dining room (about 11' or 12' long) and several feet into the hallway, with a horizontal spread just before the doorway of at least 10'.
- Dirt picked up from the plants on the windowsill had been blown onto the dining room table, three feet away and a foot higher than the windowsill. And I mean lots of dirt.
- More dirt was blown onto the plates IN MY SIDEBOARD, three feet above the windowsill and ten feet away.
That's some fucking impressive wind, yo.
