ISAAC, DAY 2

Gosh, guys it’s been a roller coaster ride, mostly all day long!
Every three hours we get our allotted reports from the National Weather people, which relay that info to our local stations, about the journey of ISAAC.
He’s, ISAAC, is still only a 40 mph wind with gusts to 50 mph, a minimal tropical storm and his forward movement has alternated from slow to not as slow speeds, breaking no records at 15 mph, in a forward north western direction…
He, that is ISAAC, is still in the Caribbean giving the islands a long large rain event.
The five o’clock latest information confirms that the two o’clock was right on target as, ISAAC, is moving slightly more in a north westerly direction…and yep, I and others cannot wait until the eight o’clock update! We are all on the edge of our seats…
Geez is this, what watching paint dry is like?
I can only relate to if it is similar to watching grass grow; since I used to do that, seriously on the first lawn I planted bluegrass on, in good ole NJ… We had built that home too, to me it was like giving birth to the beautification of the total project, see I told you DIY gives me thrills! I’m easy, bud, dump, bum… enough already! And so sad of me to even admit that!

Meteorologist, Robert Van Winkle on our local NBC station, out of Fort Myers, again just chimed in my background that a thunder storm in Hendry County is having them get a warning since that storm has 50 mph winds and folks that one is already here, take that ISAAC you WHIMP!

Oh no! The last thing I want is a bunch of dueling storm systems! I better watch what I say over the next few days with this danger hanging out there threatening us all here in the SUNSHINE STATE! Perhaps if we say that three times real fast we could banish ISAAC?
Now there is something to mull over, how in the world can you WATCH what you say?
My words, except on here are most always invisible, aren’t yours that is your speaking words to you too?
Heaven knows I have never in reality watched my words come out of my mouth, mine just seem to do it by sound waves or some other scientific/ medical explanation, but I’m no scientific/medical person or speech pathologist whomever would know those things, no seeable notations are ever there, do yours?
Inexplicable, hmm?

To be fair though, I am back discussing the all important star for the next few days here in FLORIDA that is MR. ISAAC, he appears to have the pros all saying he will be turning into a bit more substantial storm a category one hurricane, not unlike Rita.
You northeastern states know what the remnants of a cat one can do, don’t cha?

Hubby’s on CBS now with Jim Farrell, their meteorologist and what he’s getting is the facts about storm surges, because of the angle of it come up the coastline there will be a minimal storm surge.
WOW, now we are getting somewhere!
We live near the coast and that means a lot to us, no flooding, or maybe a little.
Better than a lot, I’ll take it!

Today, I decided to store a bunch of pet friendly hotels/motels in ‘my favorites’ online.
To make reservations now I would have to be psychic, since we don’t know exactly where ISAAC is going…right?
Saturday would be our deadline.
The earliest now he, ISAAC, could get here is in the wee hours of the morning of Sunday into Monday … I think.

Now, before I close up for the night, you may have noticed that when I spoke of this guy named ISAAC, I yelled his name, since it isn’t like Beetlejuice, and this ISAAC has to know that I mean business and perhaps I might be able to scare him away with my YELLING!

Oh, now, one more thing, they keep telling us that the hurricane planes keep flying into all of these storms to get the info…I have a suggestion, since we know scientifically that wind shear makes nice neat mince meat of these things, like ISAAC, so why can’t these hurricane hunter planes have wind guns on board that could cause significant wind shear to them… just an uneducated thought, you see they are there anyway, hmm?

Well, now again, oh dear too many nows, than allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too!

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

PS Kerry Sanders with NY’s NBC, but here in Florida most all of the time, just said something via the mayor of the city there, that in my opinion is just asking for trouble that Tampa has not had a hurricane in over ninety years! Isn’t that a no, no, and a little like tempting fate?
RNC, Republican National Convention is going on with their plans so far, unless the wind shifts literarily towards them… and nobody wants that, even me, really!
Oh, I am a clever one, get my drift…
