Can you say WINDY?

Last Sunday night it was soooooo windy... it was actually pulling water back up the drain, through the vents in the ceiling. There was this rumble and gurgle going on in the sink with every gust... it was the water swishing around in the drain pipes, from the wind action on the roof. Crazy yes, but it gets crazier.... The wind was so strong, it blew some of the railings off at Sea Lion Caves. Wowza!
It's windy again tonight and here's our storm warning for the beaches, right off www.accuweather.com:
