Personal trivia:

We had a doozy of a storm at about midnight last night. The rain bucketed down for about an hour and the sky lit up with bolts of lightening. One of the strangest experiences was the vibration set up by the wind in the top story wooden verandah which runs off our main bedroom. The noise sounded like a dentists drill - when the wind came in at just the right intensity.. we have never heard anything like it before!
