It is blowing like Katrina today! Lots of action outside. Big seas! Waves have spindrift. Trees are tossing branches at us. It is just a howlin’. Forecast was for 50 mph with higher gusts and, this time, I think they may have got it right.
Wahoo!
I love the wind. To me, it just feels great! Clean air gets cleaner. It is just plain invigorating. Makes a guy wanna take two naps!
Doesn’t look like we’ll be going about our daily routine though, such as it is. Not today. Sal was gonna ‘sub’ at the post office but the seas are too high for safe travel and the plane isn’t coming in anyway. Same reason. One of the other alternates who can walk there will go stand in the shed all day. For nothing, really. No plane. No neighbours who-come-by-boat. This will be a lonely post-office day.
People are unlikely to travel at all today, actually. Trees will be down on the road and the air will be full of flying bits. It’s better for everyone to just hunker down and let the storm blow itself out. Should do so by dinnertime. But today will be a non-day for most of us. And that is not all bad.
Guy can’t have too many naps, ya know?
Weather being describe as a bomb. Intense cold low meeting cold high pressure with winds up to 125 kilometers per hour on the west side of Vancouver Island. A Mary Poppins kind of day.
