Please allow me to interject my feelings about Mother Nature

Poseidon is not happy today.

 

Don't forget - the fish don't know it's raining! Time to reach deep into that tackle box for the 8-ounce sputniks.

 

It's actually raining today! We might not get out of the 80s!

Of course, it'll be humid as hell and back to near 100 this weekend.

 

Last night, we had a straight line wind storm blow through at 11 pm. It hit 60 mph here. Lots of branches down at my house. No real damage. But out at the farm, the weather folks say it hit 88. Luckily, no damage for us. But neighbors lost shingles, a metal carport is about 50 yards from where it originally stood and a couple chicken houses don’t have roofs.

But what really pissed me off was none of the local TV stations were live on air covering the storm as it approached and hit town. Their explanation was they were streaming on their station apps and on Facebook. That seems like BS to me. Not everybody goes to FB to get streaming storm coverage. The late night shows were in reruns. Why wouldn’t they put that on the actual TV station?

 

I left school at 4pm and it was high 90s. Ran errands and picked up Spartan, Jr. Got home quarter to 6. It was 73.

 

Not this thread again.

 

Got awakened just before 3 a.m. by a very loud thunderstorm and now I'll never get back to bed.

 

Most of the Southeast got peppered with random storms the last 24 hours, I think. I know we did. It has nothing to do with the hurricane. It's just the pregame.
