Since we've arrived, there has been at least five wind warnings. Only one really hit us in Palm Desert but we've felt them if we ventured up to the high desert in Joshua Tree Park.
There is another warning for tonight starting at 3:00 am with gusts to 80 mph. One side effect is the light covering of dust everywhere inside and out.
We don't understand how the windmills in the valley operate - some are slowly rotating, others spinning and still others motionless. I did hear that they can be stopped if the wind is too strong but otherwise it is a mystery. Some are enormous, others small, some have three spokes, others two - all mixed together. I find them beautiful and mesmerizing.
