Here they come


Well, here we are once again watching as potential hurricanes leave the coast of Africa. This is NOT something we look forward to every year. It takes about 12 days for a system to get to the east coast of the US from Africa. So, now it is watch and wait. The weather people are no doubt gearing up, eyes getting all glittery, waiting for the possible BIG ONE that they get to tell about. The hype really gets intense and can drive a person crazy with worry and fear.

We went through Frances, Jeanne and Wilma, Wilma being the worst. My heart goes out to everyone who has to go through any of these storms. These storms can be unpredictable that's for sure.

We do have different shutters we have made to cover windows out of various materials, we know the drill. Not fun.

Below are a couple of pictures from Accu-Weather. Hopefully these will be pulled northward and just head on out to sea. They do say that there is that possibility, but they focus on telling of them hitting the east coast.
