Hurricane Matthew …. “came and went …. Grateful”!!

~~October 7, 2016~~ 

HURRICANE MATTHEW 

These were the days!

For me, it really started last Tuesday when I realized this monster was headed our way.

All the predictions were dire.

We picked up all the outside furniture, wind chimes, pots and plants … anything that could be a projectile.

Wondered what last night and this morning would bring.

We feel blessed and lucky!

To our advantage, it veered a bit east, from Category 4 went to Category 3.

There was rain and wind last night.

We still feel wind gusts.

Happy to say no major damage.

We have power, water, internet and television.

Luckier than so many others.

As of this writing, the eye is going over the city of Jacksonville, north from us.

We are OK!!

MATTHEW IS ON THE WAY

At the time of this writing, the morning is gray, overcast and rain is scant.

So far, only drizzling.

There’s an ominous feeling in the atmosphere, almost chilling.

I don’t know how long I’ll be able to post.

Will return to usual ‘programming‘ hopefully Saturday morning.

It will all depend on the effects of this massive hurricane.

I’ve been through several of them before.

Believe you me, it’s not a fun experience.

The worst of the storm, in my area, is expected to start this afternoon around 5 PM.

The peak is expected around 2 AM.

By Friday afternoon, hopefully, it should be gone, continuing the trek up north.

I will return as soon as conditions permit.

Hurricane Matthew is set to deliver a devastating blow to eastern Florida starting Thursday night,October 6, will hammer areas farther north up the coast in Georgia and the Carolinas Friday into the weekend.

An important point to make is that landfall does NOT need to take place for the worst impacts to come ashore. The strongest winds and most drilling surge will come to the coast in the eyewall, which surrounds the eye.

Landfall occurs when the calmest portion of the eye, or the center, comes ashore. Hurricane conditions will come ashore even if the center stays 20 to 30 miles offshore.

FACTORS

Timing For Matthew

Life-Threatening Storm Surge, Battering Waves, Major Beach Erosion

Damaging Hurricane-Force Winds Likely

Rainfall Flooding, Tornadoes

Orca Cries Out For Help …. Request Answered … “!!

~~July 23, 2016~~ 

REQUEST IS ANSWERED

By Clayton Browne

With all the bad things that are happening on this Earth, it’s always good to see up-lifting, humanistic, basically kind and nice events.

This is one of them.

A nature event much needed to “erase” memories of these recent weeks ….

…. at least, momentarily.

A group of hard-working rescuers in Canada have saved a stranded killer whale they heard crying for help in the distance.

The fortunate Orca apparently became stuck on some rocks just off the coast of British Columbia in Canada early morning, July 23.

One man spotted the distressed whale, and he called a group, The Guardians from Hartley Bay, who traveled to the site to try and help.

The rescuers brought in a water pump to help keep the whale wet and also covered the mammal with damp sheets.

“It was a team effort, and fortunately on some level this transient orca understood that we were trying to help,” the post noted.

“She cried often, which tore at our hearts.”

It took six hours, but the whale was finally freed when the tide rose enough, and the group shared an image of it back safely in the water.

We ALL are connected through NATURE!!

On July 23, 2015, a female Orca became trapped on the coastline.

Rescuers worked for almost eight hours to keep her wet until the tide came back in.
