I got up at about 5:20, thinking I’d have a little time to make something for dinner and surf before the Survivor finale came on. I looked outside and thought, “Man, it is still! Eerily still….” And then I realized that the emergency weather sirens were on. I know it’s not monthly testing time.
They’ve been forecasting rain around here for a week and we have seen nary a drop. I walked away from the sliding door to the deck and into the kitchen and proceeded to make a few hamburger patties. I turned back around not ten minutes later to see the tree branches waving violently in the wind. A few minutes after that the patter of the rain hit the roof. It’s a smidge less windy and a smidge less rainy now, but it’s also still 86° out.
As long as my power doesn’t go out and I can’t watch Survivor, I don’t care.
UPDATE AT 6:30: Okay, that passed over in about 20 minutes and it’s now 20 degrees cooler. Apparently in other parts of the metro there was hail and swirly clouds. I still have my power. *whew*
