No, I'm not mad. The wind was blowing from the north, and my front door faces south. There's a porch with about a five-foot overhang, so I wasn't going to get smacked by anything. There was a brief time (when it became hard to distinguish the houses on the other side of the street) when I wondered whether there might be a small tornado hidden in the storm, and that was a bit scary, but I wasn't in any real danger. That being said, I definitely wasn't going to walk around in that! Putting blankets on the cars would've been a good idea if I'd done it ahead of time, though.
