It's that time again..

THAT time.  The time of the year when I start paying attention to weather reports.  Usually June 1 for the start of Hurricane Season.  But it is only May 27 and we already have the second named storm of the season, Tropical Storm Beryl, barreling (no pun intended ha ha) toward Jacksonville, FL.  Hopefully she will bring some badly needed rain to drought stricken areas of Florida. And I do mean "drought stricken."

Drought

There is a theory that drought stricken areas attract storms and studies support that theory.

In any case, it IS that time of the year and we have started into the "rainy" season for our area.  If we have to have the hot temps, I am glad we also have the rain to go with them.  The rain produces beautiful flowers and freshens our air.

I have no problem with summer in Florida.  But maybe that is because we have good air conditioning and a sea breeze most of the time.  Inland Florida?  That's a bit different.

Hoping Beryl brings us more rain.

Beryl's current position

I bought a battery operated handheld HDTV today.  Our old analog battery operated TV is no longer of any use, of course.  This one has chargers for house and car to recharge the battery, a 7" LED screen and an antenna to capture the local digital signals. I will like that a lot better than the weather radio. What is great about these things is we can monitor the storm even if we have to evacuate.  Works in the car. ;-)

Looking forward to watching storms from afar this year.
