Combine the awesome wonder of nature and power of a hurricane with the awesome wonder and power of the internet and instant satellite pictures, and as long as my roof stays on, it is actually very cool to watch the outer bands of this hurricane approach us on satellite and then step outside and watch exactly the same thing. We just had a huge downpour that lasted maybe five minutes, and when I go out I can still see blue sky peeking through some of the wispy lower clouds and it’s not raining a drop, and the humidity is incredibly high (well, 100%). You can just picture it as a wispy outer arm that must have passed over us, all spiralling in exactly the direction that it should be.
That’s all – just a moment of weather awe and geekiness.
