Alex, Too Close

This is Alex. This Infared satellite picture shows it in iffy detail. Remember, colder cloudtops mean harsher storms.

It's some distance from the area now but a hurricane's effects can reach across hundreds of miles.

It was cool today, a welcome respite from the torrential heat. Rain.

I like the rain. I like to run naked in it, lol, but I haven't done that in many years.

You know, if this thing jogs a little to the north, then it's ay-ya time here, you never want to be on the east side of a hurricane. It doesn't look like it will, it looks like it will pass over the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico where it will fall apart and become just a low pressure system.

I hate thunderstorms. Unless you ever huddled in the dark after one knocks out the power, worrying, you cannot know how it feels.

It's all right, as I get older, it becomes just a thing. Like everything else.
