Irene, Irene, Irene, I feel sorry for those Irenes out there!

Of course it is important to know what is going on and we all want everyone to be safe, but…I think the time has come to change the concept of naming hurricanes for people!
Go with me here… each name used for a major storm brings with it extremely negative connotations and thoughts from then on when heard or referenced, hmm?

I don’t recall where the concept came from but I truly think the time has come to give them more descriptive names of their actual content of destructive abilities, what do you think?
People names are so personal and storms should not be, since they become nemesis immediately when discovered for their quantitative divisiveness.
‘Tropical storms’ are more ambiguous and simplistic than its more powerful cousin ‘Hurricane’.

Adjectives, adverbs, and verbs are free so I have been told and don’t seem to have any feelings. And so, I now declare that to be a much better way to call these weather systems that expound lethal and devastating destruction on life and limbs as well as properties should be tumultuous whirling dervishes of mighty capacities or any similar description that works! TA DA!

Now that that’s cleared up…

Moving on…
Thankfully, people who are in the direction of the cane are listening and taking heed of what all the authorities are telling them.
Very few are being foolish.
Some interviewed are of the ilk of wanting to ride the storm out!
All I have for you are a few words …WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY?
These were people in direct alignment with the hurricane’s point of entry as a CAT 2, true only around 100 mph winds but dangerous just the same.
Not that I know anything only being a person who helped after Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5, circa 1992 and being a survivor of Hurricane Charley a Category 4, circa 2004, but I love people and I would HATE to know due to stupidity that they died!
Gosh, you could have some lethal disease and die or be very old and die, but due to stupidity, DON’T DIE! Most fight to live, and that’s why I just don’t get it…sorry!

Geez that felt good to get out into the air…whew!

The explosive possibilities of what may happen have most newsy type programming keeping us well informed, not to mention all the weather channels on the TV and Internet as well.
Many online are interactive or even have weather windows with live action films of how the weather is changing.
What a world we live in with instant everything at our fingertips and that means no excuses to be as safe as you can be!
Tonight is the last night of sort of still calm waters in many areas in the encompassing target areas, be well and happy and save your families not your things remember they are replaceable, YOU ARE NOT!

On that loving warning… allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count all your blessings and to share all your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
