As oddly as folks in Los Angeles handle any kind of weather other than “late night & early morning low clouds clearing by noon high in the 70’s with 80’s in the inland valleys” (the LA weather critters say that as one syllable), I’m finding it interesting to see what’s going on in coastal Virginia at the moment.
We’re traveling and doing family graduation stuff and thus a little bit out of touch with a lot of the news (someone named Red got married?) but for the third time today we’ve come into some place or the other and found The Weather Channel on the TV in the lobby. That being something you don’t see in LA (they’re more into soaps, Oprah, and game shows for their lobby television) it made me take notice.
Seems there’s a tropical storm pounding Florida right now and headed into North Carolina and Virginia tomorrow. Cool!! We can definitely see the change in the weather as it’s getting cooler, windier, and cloudier by the hour.
A couple of inches of rain, some scattered thunder storms, winds up to 40 knots, with the remote possibility of a tornado – I would figure that wasn’t that unusual in these parts. I didn’t expect The Weather Channel’s storm updates to be the channel de jour around town unless it was a hurricane incoming, but I would be wrong!
STORM WATCH!! At least here we’ll get more than a tenth of an inch of drizzle to justify all of the hoopla.
