WHAT WEATHER?

It is often said that "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute."  The Northeast climate can be volatile and many folks think our weather forecasters don't often get it right.  I happen to differ.  I think they're pretty accurate so I pay close attention and operate accordingly.  Today started out with lots of sun but also a lot of wind.  Then came the warning...

 

So the day goes on with the wind blowing and the leaves swirling around. Then more watches and warnings come across the TV and computer screens.

 

Then it really becomes serious.

 

So, the rains came and they came down hard.  The wind blew the rain horizontally and the trees bent down as if bowing to the rain.  The weather men and women were exactly right.....right down to the timing and severity. 

 

Then they cancelled the tornado warning....thank you very much!

So, we were spared but many other localities were not so fortunate.  Tornado in Queesn, NY.  Power out in surrounding communities ... and trees down on houses and cars. Clean up will take awhile.  My prayers are for their quick recovery.

Hope the non-believers will listen to the local weather folks now.  They got it right this time and will in the future.


Again, thanks for stopping by.....
