Mid West Prairie Storm Cell
Well hello there, hope you are enjoying a long and leisurely summer with friends and family. So nice to have a little relaxation time considering the challenges these days, seems like if it’s not six of one it’s half a dozen of another.
Now I’m not sure about you but it gives me a bit of caution, respect and fear when I see one of these storm cells rear over the horizon. Perhaps my response is from having fled to our basement with kids and pets while a severe storm badly damaged our home including those of the neighborhood. It came up very fast and was extremely violent.
Of course some city folks often feel they can ignore weather as they are primarily indoors. Until the subway floods, underpasse fill with water trapping drivers and passengers in cars, ceilings in shopping mall collapse, surface powerlines are down and/or folks are stuck on the 47th floor in the dark in their apartment/condo of their skyscraper due to the electrical outage.
My Daddy always said to me “keep an eye to the sky son”, he was right then and it is still sound advice I tell my kids too. It is always prudent to be aware of weather and potential storms, have some disaster supplies at hand and give Mother Nature the respect she deserves.
This month I am offering D.A.R.I.A. Book Five free on August 13th and 14th. Science fiction reading with a sentient artificial intelligent entity as the central protagonist. You know it is really not so far in the future I hope you realize. Check it out and enjoy!
When you are not in total wonderment of the James Webb space telescope you will want to visit this site for some excellent sci-fi books.
Once you are enlightened by these books of the future you will realize how “in the dark” we currently are.
Of course with change comes controversy and sometimes, alright often times, degrees of combat. So keep your flak vest loaded and ready along with both a short and long armament.
Enjoy your summer and leisure time everyone and keep your eye to the sky. Oh and have a charged flashlight handy. It’s so frustrating to try and find one after the lights go out.
Now if you will excuse me the dogs are demanding we enjoy the remarkable sunset and storm clouds.
Best
