Hurricane Beryl is churning away in the southern Caribbean. It looks nasty. Some of the islands are in for it. We won’t know for days if it’s going to hit Texas or not. Some early models show it making landfall in the Galveston area. Of course, a storm this big doesn’t have to to hit directly to cause widespread problems.
Just to add insult to injury there’s a chance other weather disturbances could develop in the area. There’s even a chance a second hurricane could follow the same path of Beryl. Imagine getting hit by a hurricane only to have a second one hit a few days later. Fingers crossed that doesn’t happen.
My own weather in New Hampshire is kinda weird. Not only have we been getting thunderstorm warnings there are also tornado warnings. What was once a very rare event in this state is becoming a regular thing.
I was doing some shopping a few towns to the south of me and got caught in the rain. It was a near miss by a truly massive black cloud. In my travels through the Midwest and South I’ve encountered tornadoes a few times. That big black cloud looked disturbingly familiar. Of course, not every storm cranks out tornadoes but it sure looked like it had potential.
There are serious weather systems on the move this summer. Keep a wise weather eye on the conditions.

ReplyDeleteFlorida - 2004, 2005. Both years, 4 hurricanes hit. We got 'Yard of the Month' in my neighborhood, but took the sign in until we cleaned up the storm debris. Then took it in 2 weeks later when the next storm came through. Bonnie, Charlie, Francis, Jean, Rita, Wilma - they all run together after 20 years. . .
Crazy times. Could be another bad year.
