3:10 PM – August 8, 2024
We’re still here, the rain has paused, the wind is light, and sunlight feels close to breaking through.
But . . . . The radar says Debby, or this end of it/her, is west of us, swirling lazily counterclockwise, and could come around and do another dump on us tonight on the way north up the coast.
The weather people are predicting this. We had two warnings, now there’s three: besides more heavy rain tonight, thunder & lightning too, with a chance of tornadoes. Did I mention I’m not a fan of twisters?
Our personal forecaster, Ms. Kitty, is feeling cautious. On non-stormy days, she is mostly outside. Right now, she’s keeping a cautious eye out.
We’ve had two power outages, relatively brief.
I’m going to do some editing, if I can concentrate. And stay dry. Then maybe check on the action on the weirdness front.
Up here in S. Ontario we’re feeling Debby’s influence — serious rain warnings, though it doesn’t yet feel like that’s about to happen. Power outages? We’re in the country — get ’em all the time. Often it’s just enough to unset most of the electronic clocks; half a second more and we have to reset all the radio stations. We’ve had them up to 5 days here, and I know that’s trivial compared to some of the stuff going on these days.
