Wacky Weather

A couple days ago a siren went off in the city warning residents that a tornado was in the area. The firm directed everyone into the hot, lower level stairwells for 15 minutes while we waited for word that the tornado threat had passed.

Today we begin the first of a couple of days of pounding rains from Ernesto. Six inches or so are forecast after an August that was so hot and dry that my front yard looked like brown brillo pad until the rains of the last few days. Naturally, we're headed to the beach this weekend for what looks to be a washout.

At least there is some excitement here in the Del. for once.
