ALL THAT WORRY AND...

Hopefully it will be for nothing!
Although, ISAAC, take that, seems to be heading a wee bit further west, but it don’t mean a thing till the fat lady sings!
Ooops what’s the tune; could you hum a few bars…bud, dump, bum… I meet the bill.
Any-who…the weather system that is presently coming off the coast of Cuba, is still only twirling around at 60 mph with gusts to 70 mph, and the millibars have dropped below one thousand, and he is sprinting at 17 mph forward motion, which could mean only one thing that ISAAC is considering going into a faster circular pace.
The weather people though seem to feel that ISAAC now will not become a category one hurricane until it is across from us here in Southwest Florida, but by then the cone of uncertainty will be brushing our coast line.
Now, most would let out an enormous WHEW!
But nah, not so soon folks, the meteorologists seem to believe that we will be on the side of quite a bit of wind!
Now I am getting angry, my hopes were so high, and Hubby worked so hard battening down the hatches most all of today!
Why couldn’t they let us know before he went through all that!
It’s dark in here, well not totally dark since some glass coverings were left open until that fat lady sung!

But this is gotta stop, there’s gotta be a better way!
Emotionally it’s a roller coaster ride too for every one involved.
Since most of us have been through really bad hurricanes and we never ever want to be complacent or cavalier about any major threats.
There has got to be another answer.
Oh don’t get me wrong I am so happy that Hubby made us storm ready, after Hurricane Charley it wiser to err on the side of being prepared for the worst and hope for the best, Geez where have I heard that before, hmm?
If ISAAC fizzles that is just fine with me!

My anger is aimed at the fact that in the twenty-first century we still have no better ways to predict this elusive thing called weather!
I can’t be upset with people, since we are all just human… mere mortals.
But we are brilliant at creating things, techno thingy things and so why have we not pursued more accurate machines to handle this little thing that can control nations more so than their populaces, and governments!
We are still under a tropical storm warning, which means winds of around forty miles or more, seventy-four is a category one hurricane, now also possible tornadoes, ISAAC is moving forward at 21 mph from Cuba into warmer water once again; hurricane warnings are currently from Bonita Beach through to the Keys.

A few people are not too worried in certain areas here our neighborhood speaks volumes to that.
I suppose some are not remembering the destruction so much, or weren’t here then, or were lucky enough not to have any!
Whatever their reason is, I still believe that we should all prepare here and keep watching or listening to the news and weather reports.
No harm in being safe, ever!

I sure hope that I didn’t add to the confusion with our locals here… many are doing whatever they have to do in their particular area, which is the smartest way to handle it all!
No arguments here.

On that note of you gotta do what you gotta do; allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and don’t forget to count your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

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