Weathered Weekend
…again.
Tropical Storm Hanna has struck and is continuing to strike. Right now she’s just barely passed my brother-in-law, and my knit-witty friend, Aimee, and my husband’s uncle. She’s heading right up the East Coast towards more of my friends and then off the coast and back to the Atlantic again to die down between Ireland and Iceland, if she makes it that far.
Then the ferocious Ike is on his way with whipping winds of 115 mph right now. He has such a fickle eye: he became a Hurricane a couple to three days ago and within hours he was an H4. Since then he has moved back and forth between an H3 and H4. He looks to be headed right towards the Gulf of Mexico again. I feel sorry for the people on the gulf coast. Most just got power back, some still have none. Some still don’t have phones, food, roofs that don’t leak, etc. Maybe Ike will change his mind’s eye (haha) and chill out.
Thankfully Josephine has downgraded to a Tropical Depression. Maybe she’ll die off and we won’t have to worry about her at all.
All of these storms however have provided the Midwest states with much needed rain. My garden had been shriveling up but is now filling out with beautiful vegetables again. Some plants just couldn’t survive the long weeks w/o rain, but most did manage.
Watching the news right now, I was just reminded that my neighborhood might have storms tomorrow too. The Colts opening night. My granny is the most extreme opposite of a fan of the Colts. She despises the team and the attention they get, not to mention the TV shows that get pushed off of the schedule just so the local channels can cover the Colt Football games. I’m off to search for shows for her to watch online
