Hurricane Season 2006

Yesterday evening, as I was taking taking the laundry off the line, I noticed the wind had a strange feel to it. I remember thinking, "This feels just like the wind at the beach." Not the beach of our local lake, mind you, but the beach of the Gulf of Mexico.

I came inside to check the weather, and realized that it WAS wind from the Gulf of Mexico. It was tropical storm Alberto, which made landfall in Florida sometime last night. He didn't come close enough to us for any real storm activity. Just a little bit windier than usual.


He was the first named storm of 2006. There will be more. Lots more.

And so it begins...
