I think this hurricane is playing havoc with other weather all along the Eastern US. I know here in Pa we've had the weirdest clouds and this past week rain with sleet enough it piled up along the edges on my deck.
Your Gray Man brought to mind our ‘Gleecus’ man as a kid. Ha! Adults use to scare kids that Gleecus was going to get them!
I was watching some of Savannah's people boarding up windows on some of those beautiful older homes down there. Ya just got to hope it won't hit too hard - but it's not going to be a picnic for any.
We kind of got to know a couple who lived in a charming old beach house on the extreme northern end of Litchfield Beach. As the teen I was then, I thought of them as an “older couple” but they must have just been in their late 40s/early 50s.
Anyway, as newlyweds, this couple had famously met up with the Gray Man on the beach right before Hurricane Hazel (well before I was born) and accordingly fled inland, returning to find their home okay amid the devastation. They seemed perfectly sane and normal, not kooks at all, even to my scientist parents. Kinda makes one wonder.
I’ve seen double rainbows a few times, and they are beautiful and very special. The only time I ever saw a circular rainbow was that one time from the Cessna. The pilot told me that it was very rare, and usually only seen from the air, and had to do with ice crystals or fine raindrops. You could see a silhouette of our tiny plane in the very center, like a shadow, and the pilot said it always appeared this way from above as the plane blocked light.
It was quite something to see and I will never forget it. I can’t imagine how breathtaking it must be to see one from the ground. That must be in the “Super Rare” category!
