As some of you may or may not know, I presently live in the "Hurricane Alley" of the Caribbean and the 5-10 split is extremely wide in my neck of the woods at this time of year so, yeah, it's technically a crap shoot.
Most bowlers aim just right or left the Number 1 pin for a strike. Currently, our island is just left of that desired 'sweet spot' for Hurricane Irene.
There have been several tropical waves forming off of the east coast of Africa that are potential tropical storms since the onset of the hurricane season but, thankfully, most have been gutter balls.
I have found that if I talk about upcoming storms in my blog, they generally peter out or divert their respective routes to non life threatening areas. Hence, this post (and crossing fingers, toes, eyes. etc).
Just to give you a perspective, as of about 5 p.m. EDT today:
And if that wasn't bad enough ...
My mom just called me the "Hippy Dippy Weatherman". Really, she did, mostly because I've been obsessed in monitoring the hurricane updates all day. This is how it is in our household. It can be satirically comical at times yet we cannot control many things, let alone 'Mother Nature'. I just hope we're still laughing come Friday.
I think we will be. What else can one do?
I might be "off the grid" for the next few days (week?).
In the meantime, tonight's forecast: dark.
;-)
