According to the National Weather Service, we are not currently under a severe weather warning http://www.nhl.com/ice/schedulebyweek.htm#?navid=nav-sch-main, (8 PM) although that could change. I was just getting ready to start this blog, and there was a simultaneous clap of thunder and a lightning bolt. Which tells me the storm is here. I disconnected the laptop from the power source, but kept the modem and router connected. And I kept the televisions connected. I know better, but I did that, anyway.
Now, the large, intermittent drops of rain have become steady and we are getting much needed rain again. So , this is good. But it is not long lasting, I think.
I am watching the Yankee game, (The Yankees are playing the Dodgers.) so I am not tuned into local television for weather alerts. I am okay with this. I have a weather radio, and I get "Thunder Alerts" from KCBD http://www.kcbd.com/ on my cell phone. So, if there are emergent issues, I will be alerted.
The outside temperature has dropped significantly, and is at 68°. But because of the blowing dust and rain, and the threat of severe weather, opening the windows is not an option. Maybe later.
I have been able to open the windows while I slept this week. The problem with that is that with the rain, plants activate, and there is a lot of pollen out there. Right outside my bedroom windows, there are eunonymous bushes https://www.google.com/search?q=euonymus+shrubs&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&rlz=1I7ADBF&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=RVrCUaTlK4XLyAHisIC4Aw&ved=0CEMQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=647So, so when I wake up in the morning, my eyes are puffy from the irritation from their pollen. But I still want the windows open, when I can.
This is an ongoing saga. We shall see what happens with the weather tonight.
