The wind outside my window sounds like waves crashing into rocks. Like an angry ocean the intensity ebbs and flows from a soft tap on the side of my windows to damn near shaking the apartment.

Lone cars zooming down the street remind me that nope, not on a boat. Simply in a windy corridor.

Mike said a storm was rolling through the Midwest and likely the mid Atlantic is getting it in the form of wind and some scattered showers.

One would think the soft pelting of rain drops would help keep me asleep. Alas, insomnia is a monster that can break past even the soft lullaby of rain.
