Ususally the air feels "balmy," if you understand. I mean, it's almost like you can "feel" the tropics in the air.

Strange things happen with these storms. I still can't get over that red sky last night. And that so many of us saw it.

Sometimes it seems like you can almost smell the sea - even this far inland.

Yes, that sky was eerily beautiful last night. After church, we were out making sure that the playground equiptment was secured and we were all looking up and taking notice of it.

We were able to get just a whiff of that tropical ocean air here in the WNC mountains during Floyd, but it hasn't come in yet with Isabel -- this afternoon, maybe.

We are seeing the outermost bands of clounds from Isabel in the upper atmosphere now, just above the ridgeline of the Blue Ridge -- skies to the west are sunny and clear, temps in the 50s moving into the 60s. Sorry you folks in the east aren't sharing our mountain weather today!
