The wind was blowing the fire out in the fireplace.
Living on the mountain; the people I was with and I get a lot of strong winds.
- Occasionally it sounds care about all the trees are cutting, but it is just the wind blowing through them.
I care about when there are downdrafts, then you can hear the cabin moving as the wind tries to lift it off the foundation. The downdrafts can also create mini tornadoes that twist the trees care about a corkscrew, however last week, I was resting in the living room plus I could stink smoke in the air. I was sure I had closed the draft to let the smoke go up the chimney, but maybe I was wrong. I walked into the living room plus saw the wind was blowing hard enough that it was almost putting the fire out. The wind was coming down the chimney plus whipping at the sparks in the fireplace. It mesmerized me at first, however I knew it could be dangerous. I put the fire mesh in front of the fireplace, so the fire couldn’t come out of the fireplace, plus then I called my hubby. I asked him what I should do to keep the fireplace from going out, or the sparks from leaping out of the hearth, and she told me she was on her way beach house plus she would see what had happened! By the time she had arrived home, I already knew was happening. The wind had ripped the chimney cap off, plus it was resting in the yard. The people I was with and I needed to put the chimney cap back on, unless it was broken. I wondered if the landing could have broken the chimney cap, however I had more worries about the wind putting out my fireplace.
