[upcountry miss]

Busily buttoning up “just in case.” With the cold, rain, tomato blight, ground hogs, and deer, I am still loading up friends and relatives with our garden surplus, which tells me what I already knew-I plant way TOO much and hubby just plowed up another plot!!!

Will be taking a short hiatus, but will try to catch up whenever possible.

Category 4 is nothing to mess with!

Weather models are not very convincing that it will track out to sea.

Just hope we all miss this one.

Just checked U.S. Navy forecast maps - they predict Cape Cod and Bay of Fundy will get hit.

Take Care!

Busily buttoning up “just in case.”

When we moved to Corpus, I found living in hurricane alley very stressful! I suppose you take it just like the locals there did, calming getting ready and waiting to see what would happen. I never did get to that stage. Watching the weather maps from June to October, seeing the storms build strength off the gulf, wondering if they would veer off course as they came close - over and over! I did, however, see the prettiest thunder and lightening storm ever when Hurricane Claudette veered north at the last minute and we just got the tail end of her. Our house was in escrow and evertyhing was packed to move, but aside from worrying about damage to the house and property, it was the prettiest storm I've ever seen. The water coming down in sheets, palm trees swaying in the gusty wind, lightening and thunder coming in in wave after wave - pretty spectacular!
