Wow I couldn't sleep properly as the wind was so loud.
It reached 80km/hr gusts not far from me.
It sounded like a lot more than that.

I have never heard such loud, strong wind in my life before.
It was whistling and howling.
This has gone on for over 4 days now.

Bobby, fill your pockets with coins as ballast if going outdoors.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.
