Next Storm

image

Looks like another low has rolled off the coast of Africa near the Canary Islands. People that live there have "first warning" for storms it seems, if anyone lives there. This one rolled out more south than Bertha, so we watch these more carefully here and in Florida. This one has lots more rain in it too. Good for the water supply here, but good for mud slides too. Moving land is one of the largest killers in storms around the world, not the wind or the rain. Dry dirt becomes mud and run-off very quickly.

It is hot (so what's new) and sunny today.
