Die Zimtzicke Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I have friends in Michigan where the two dams broke. It is VERY bad there. They may lose their whole water supply in Midland. One of them sent me this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucky Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Well, here we go again. Christobal is currently on the Yucatan Peninsula with it's eye on the Gulf Coast. Early predictions is it hitting somewhere between Mississippi and Texas. That could change when it hits the Gulf of Mexico. Anyone living along the Gulf Coast should keep an eye on the Weather Channel. Anyone from Texas to Florida should be prepared. They say it's a big storm, just don't know how strong it'll get.

chucky Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Well, we made it thru another Tropical Storm. We got a heck of a lot of rain and wind. We didn't lose power, which is always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucky Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Good morning! Hopefully everyone's Sunday morning is as beautiful as mine here in Milton, Florida. We're just a few miles east of Pensacola. It will be hot later on. Thank goodness someone invented the air conditioner. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucky Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Hanna must be a big girl. She's headed to Texas, but here in Milton, Florida, we're getting a lot of rain and a bit of wind from her. Ahhh hurricane season, as usual, it's interesting.

chucky Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Well, as usual this time of year, something is brewing in the Atlantic Ocean. All Floridians should be keeping track thru The Weather Channel. I don't mean to watch it 24/7, but at least check from time to time so there are no surprises.

A couple of things, the ey, is is pronounced like eye. j is pronounced like a y, and the f is pronounced like a "v". The ll is pronounced like "tl", hence the yat-la.

It did to me at first, but I eventually learned a bit of it. I did spend two years there. I confess I did learn more German, than Icelandic. Unfortunately, at this point most of everything I learned is gone now. Well, except for Canadian, I can still speak that. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucky Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Well, you can tell that Hurricane season is starting to ramp up. There's at least two storms brewing in the Atlantic and seems to be headed to the Gulf of Mexico. One possibly headed to somewhere between Louisiana and Texas and will make landfall around next Wednesday. The other storm headed for somewhere between Louisiana and the East Coast of Florida and will possibly make landfall somewhere in the same time frame. They will both make landfall between Tuesday and Thursday next week. So, everyone in the Gulf should start getting prepared. Next week will definitely be interesting indeed, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucky Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) I've been keeping my eyes on the Weather Channel. Marco seems to be headed toward Houston and Laura appears to be headed closer to New Orleans. I think everyone from San Antonio to Tallahassee will be getting a lot of rain and wind. From my experience with Tropical Storms/Hurricanes, landfall locations tend to change. Laura started out headed to Tallahassee, now a couple of days later, the Mississippi coast to New Orleans is under the gun for a direct hit.
