Busy and interesting day today!









We are now less than two weeks from our ‘Hurricane Season’, which begins officially June 1.2013 and ends November 30.2013, but this is a yearly event. And yes, Florida is the location where 40% have been known to occur, and yes that makes our state the most prevalent to have them…but in the 27 years that we have been living here we only once had a direct hit! And the fact that Sandy horribly hit the northeast last October is a dreadful anomaly!

No, we don’t want anymore here either, but we have no desire for anyone to have them and to date there is no way to prevent them. “Has the government tried to stop hurricanes? Project STORMFURY failed. The government has tried to drop silver iodide into the rainbands of a hurricane. They tried this with Hurricane Esther in 1961, Beulah in 1963, Debbie in 1969 and Ginger in 1971. They hope the silver iodide would cause supercooled water to freeze. They thought it would create new rings of clouds and weaken the storm. It didn’t.” Thanks to the Sun Newspapers Hurricane Preparation Guide 2013.  I was one of the many that were always wondering about that.

We spent about an hour there talking to the 60 or more venders that were there.
WINK TV is our local CBS affiliate and they were all accommodating in allowing me to take a group shot of their news and weather crew.
