It's so strange. It doesn't look or feel like a hurricane is barreling our way. Outside right now the skys are clear and while it's a bit excessivly humid out, it's not all that bad. Even the radar is deceiving:
No storms in the area
It's all quite and clear. But when you look at the bigger picture, things suddenly change.
The yellow arrow is pointing to me
Holy crap, you mean all that is coming my way? It's creepy. And I think about how it must have been in the years before the Doppler radar and satellite imagery. How they must have been taken so by surprise when something hit. How you wouldn't know what was coming until it was on-top of you.
Tonight brings new meaning to "the calm before the storm." I'm eager for this all to hurry up and happen. I just want it to be over. All of my local channels have pre-empted their programming to talk about hurricane safety, hurricane evacuation, constant weather updates, etc. It's unnerving to sit and watch and just wait.
