Hang On For The Ride. The Worse Is Yet To Come.

 Ever notice just how much we really don't know about the weather? We have only been keeping records for a Jackson over 100 years. So, what do  we really know beyond that? Not very much. And, it is beginning to worry me somewhat.

Triple digits in Seattle where most of the population has no air conditioning because they don't really need it for the most part.  Death Valley setting new records again as the already hottest place on earth. Lake Mead's conservation levels can be seen on the walls and the markings tell the story of how low the water really is.  It's the 28th day of  Hurricane season and already named storms are into the D column. Tropical Storm Danny is delivering 40 MPH winds on the Eastern Seaboard tonight which is low county in that part of the country where it is doing its thing. 

We are getting showers every day through the rest of the week. If it keeps that up, there won't be any firework displays. It just seems to me that are having things tossed at us faster than we can handle them. It does make me wonder what in the world is going on. In other words, it has actually caused me to watch the rerun of Mad Max tonight.  Natural Disasters coupled with all the other things going on could make the old normal we talked about after Covid-19 hit. Just as we start to create the remake of our old normal again, the bottom of the bag is springing leaks so to speak. I'm not living in a make-believe world. My mind is telling me to be ready for almost anything. Kind of like the Police telling you to be aware of your surrounding kind-of- thing. 

Volcano threats, earthquake threats, Just today, Atmos Energy had a pipeline blow in Collins County with two works killed.  We used to make jokes about the name ATMOS. "At most it can blow up," we would reply. Well, it's doing that more often than we like. The old pipelines are long past their lifetime past investigations have reported. 

Karma!
