As I mentioned before that our hurricane season has not ended and that was not more evident then when our 18th named storm of the season was named today, as first a tropical storm and then Rina became a hurricane, all today. Right now a category 1, but fluctuating back and forth from ones to twos to even a three over the next five days!
As I write this evening it is located by the Yucatan Peninsula near Central America, we, in southwest Florida will be watching it closely for many days since it is a very slow mover; at around four MPH, but wind, circulation speed at 75 MPH and gusts to 90 MPH!
Meteorologist have stated we again are in a watch and wait mode… all we can do, nature is so unpredictable, hmm?
Turkey’s, 7.2 earthquake has claimed nearly 300 lives at this writing with more than one hundred aftershocks.
Life in the tropics is never ever boring!
Yes, this is one of the many things that living in paradise has to deal with, but worth the occasional nature’s wrath as any true lover/dweller of this lifestyle will be the first to tell you…!
We, of course never ever ask for this, no one does.
But as most will surmise, as well as me that the chance of another direct hit of extreme weather is still considered a crapshoot by all who love living here, and no we are not gambling with our lives; its logic and proven fact.
Horrors of devastation, no one in their right mind would ever want to bring down upon themselves, let’s face it you would be crazy!
I think the fact that all these totally weird weather/ natural disasters in never before areas of the world or not in hundreds of years are so unique unto themselves that the explanations have gone from the rapture to scientific reasoning’s that we were due.
If G-d were a vengeful G-d than he/she would have much to complain about our wars and crime etc… our lack of respect for humanity, but I believe no G-d would ever feel that way about his creations, he/she made us flawed for a reason, or so the many different versions of religious bibles, Korans, Torah, what-have-you say.
Nah, this is science, geology, and the ozone layer, pollution of the water and land, or some such things perhaps? But, remember I am not a professional, just opinionated.
Oh, all right, in that department I could be considered one, oh wait that would mean I would have to be paid for all this, which I am not, and so I have maintained my amateur status once again, hooray!
Whatever is causing these weather anomalies, no one has found the way to prevent it from happening yet and so we are all its mercy, we can all admit!
So, although, after we had our direct hit from Hurricane Charley and I wrote a note to the head of the National Meteorologists Association, I think at NOAA, wondering why we cannot redirect hurricanes or tornadoes or prevent earthquakes or Tsunamis?
To me it seemed like a plausible question since we can send/fly all over our universe, and land people on the moon, seed clouds to cause rain and do so many other scientific things, right?
And you know what she said?
Yes, in 2005, at least the head honcho of the department was a woman, but I do not recall her name and we have had several computer crashes since and so I cannot access that information, but you can feel free to try… Oh, you want to know what she said, hmm that they are working on it, but haven’t been able to yet.
How about that?
And as we all know, sadly, to date, it still hasn’t been resolved.
So here we sit at the mercy of nature; while brilliant minds converge on the problems but still have not found any answers.
And so we as people of the planet must realize that as much as we want it to stop, others still do not have the power either… shouldn't that be refreshing to know?
Nope, doesn’t work for me, does it work for you?
I didn’t think so…
And as awful as this last season of horrendous weather systems had proven once again, no one can hide, since the weather will find you in no matter what hemisphere you live in…hmm?
Sorry, to burst any bubbles you may have had about this horrid stuff we all call ‘weather’, a previously harmless topic of nearly anyone’s conversation at one time, safe to open any get-to-know-you at any party themed evening… now a dreaded discussion, which causes chills in even the bold and beautiful, equally!
Please note that tonight’s discussion was not to scare but to start the open discussion of…gosh I have no idea, but I am sure you do…getting old has its perks, and forgetting can be one of them, since right now I have seemed to forgotten the rest, HA!
Allow me then to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you to kindly to count all your blessings and to share your overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
