Whether you care or not our weather is in the news once again thanks to that Sweetie Debby, who is proving to be just the opposite!

In her mass wake she is spewing off tornadoes in a sporadic fashion. The Hurricane Center’s newest cone of uncertainty has her pointed directly at our panhandle in Florida, but even the surrounding counties in the Tampa area are under a tropical storm warning!Our son's county included.
All day long we have been under warnings for tornadoes and flooding…


Some neighbors have been losing items from their yards…too late for one who’s piling up of lumber has already started to float

away… Too dangerous to try to get it sadly.
One thing that horrendous weather systems have taught us was that things don’t matter, since they can be replaced, but people do, since they are irreplaceable…
Now perhaps more will understand why I found out early that money cannot buy happiness… I saw the aftermath back in 1992 of the devastation of Hurricane Andrew a category five the worst there is… and everyone who survived was thankful for their lives!

Tsunamis have proved that as well for survivors and other canes over the last decades, floods, and tornadoes yearly… why don’t so many understand that is truly what is important in life?

Please know that the pictures above are of our saltwater canal that goes directly into the Charlotte Harbor only five minutes away by boat. Our pool and our pond are also quite full…
We are also now in a slight lull of no rain but the winds are picking up… and yes, we are not even in Debby’s realm nor will we be… so the NBC TV meteorologist, Robert Van Winkle has said.
It’s all just to our north of us and that is where the warning and watches have been going on; ours are a tornado watch till eight P.M. tonight and a flood warning for us until tomorrow. That still sounds ominous to me…

We are never ever off our guard when this season lets us know that we have a storm within our area, and neither should we be.
Complacency is the enemy!
Being prepared is more than being a good scout it could mean the difference between life and death!
Listen and watch your weather channels and do whatever they tell you to do for your safety.

The only thing is that our wind chimes are going crazy with their songs of anxiousness and than a calm of quiet begins…soothing and scary too…! The trees and bushes appear to dance to the mellifluous melodies… in a concerto being only directed by a maestro of the wind.

On that image of making this possible devastating weather become tamer in all our minds, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all you blessings and share all those overages and we will too!

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