It's time to batten down the hatches....

So far, it's a tropical storm, but Hurricane Erika is certainly heading our way over the weekend. Our workplace just advised us to stock up on water/canned foods/secure windows/generators etc...

Thanks James...I'm just hoping and praying there won't be any power outage and/or damage to my home. I don't mind lot's of rain......

I know that feeling, just a little. We don't get hurricanes in Scotland, but I've had my roof peel off in 100MPH winds, you don't forget that. Hope it passes you by without damage.

Not sure where you are at, but the latest forecast track has it moving further west, almost into the Gulf of Mexico

Hi,
 
We had some rain last night ... probably more rain in a couple of hours than the last 3 months!

Luckily, we only got tons of rain and not as bad as the initial assessment. However, the lightening and thunderstorms here in FL are some of the most severest I've experienced.....loud & scary enough to make grown man cry (cue for my next blues song).

Just got back from a camping trip to northern Idaho...smoke everywhere, eyes burning, the moon a strange orange color. No fires in that part of Idaho, though, all that smoke was from fires a hundred miles away in central Washington. 
 
While I was away we had a nasty windstorm here. Only lost an arbor and the large Wisteria that lived on it, but the scary thing is we don't EVER get windstorms here in August. Not ever. Coupled with the bizarre spring and summer - record-breaking heat and drought, no snow in the mountains - and it's easy to imagine that Mother Nature is indeed turning against us. It's the End of Days, I tell ya.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

Normally, when I run through the streets screaming that we've got to get off of this planet, people look at me like I'm somewhat odd. Who looks like they're out of their mind now? Huh? 
 
Yes, I am wearing a full body aluminium foil environment suit. Yes, it's unbelievably hot in here. I may have a few Dr. Who stickers on my suit. I guess that, sometimes, I just want to feel pretty. What does that have to do with answering my question? Okay, so who else looks like they're out of their mind?
 
Mesh, get off this planet. It's for your own good. I'm saying that in a nice, friendly way, not like when those pranksters at NASA try to stuff you into a probe they're sending to slam into an asteroid. By the way, that is not nearly as funny as they seem to think it is.

The problem is (after that last flamethrower incident), most of the inhabitants in other planets have made it very clear that my kind "ain't welcome in their part of da woods".......only these lower species here on earth seem to (outwardly) accept me with open arms.

Hi,
 
On the good side of things, we had over half an inch of rain in a couple of days ... probably cleared all the smoke, too!

More and more our peaceful northern country, The Netherlands, is hit by tropical humidities, storms and tornadoes.....high water will follow..... 
So look at the picture beneath and tell me what has happened to Amsterdam.

Ok, thanks for pointing out the problem. I was not aware of it until you mentioned it.
You should have made me quote to following post:

If there is going to be a flood in Amsterdam, will the hookers get wet?

If it gets really bad, you'll have to come over to America like my relatives did (grandparents on my mother's side).  Until then, try to stay dry!
