Cooler Weather

Looks like we might not have temperatures in the 70′s after all for Christmas.

A little cool air finally came through today and it is certainly a nice break from the weather pattern for the last month or so. I just can’t stand to have a hot Christmas, it just seems wrong somehow. But, growing up in the south I have learned to deal with it.

Flooding and Heat Wave

The weather patterns in the south are very strange right now. Oklahoma and Texas are flooding, and just a mere 300 or so miles to the east we are in a dry spell and heat wave in Mississippi.

Although Hurricane Dean is headed to Mexico, it could still spell disaster for Texas and Oklahoma. I lived in South Texas 19 years ago when Hurricane Gilbert missed Texas, hit Mexico and then drifted to the north and east causing all kinds of rain and tornados in Texas.

Hurricane Dean

It looks like Hurricane Season as jumped into full gear after a very quiet summer. After living through the nightmare they called Hurricane Katrina, I would never wish for Hurricane Dean to hit the U.S. but we could certainly use some of the rain to cool off the south.

I have lived in Mississippi for 10 years and this summer has been the worst that I can recall. The heat alone is bad, but the lack of rain and the normal Mississippi humidity is enough to make you sick, literally. If you drive a car without air conditioning the air coming in feels like a heater is pointed right at you, so fans are not much help. So here is hoping for some tropical rain without the actual storm front hurting anyone.

Brooklyn Tornado

As odd as that sounds, there are reports that a Tornado in Brooklyn New York caused damage to homes and flooding to subway stations.

The National Weather Service is sending a team to investigate and see if they can tell if it was in fact a Tornado, or some other type storm that swept through the area.

NEW YORK -

Torrential rain blamed for at least one death flooded subways and delayed flights at New York’s three major airports early Wednesday, leaving thousands of commuters stranded for hours.

Longest Day Of The Year

David — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 12:27:30 +0000

It is hard to believe we have reached this time of the year again. It is the official first day of summer, but I can tell you summer has been in full swing for several weeks where I live. I can always tell because there is a constant stream of young people in and out of the house.

I wonder if there has been any studies done on how the Summer Solstice affects Internet usage and Television watching, since the longest day of the year gives everyone more time to stay outside, remember outside?
