Yeah, I thought that could be construed as evidence that they were a bit brain-dead, but don't you just love folks with camcorders who keep their heads in a crisis? What a steady hand that fellow has!

Hurricane Igor about to hit or glance off Eastern Canada. Two of my sisters and a brother-in-law are currently travelling in Newfoundland.

For those interested in the Norther Lights (aurora-borealis).

Aurora borealis webcam goes live~CBC News
Quote:
Canada's northern lights are coming to the rest of the world, thanks to a new webcam being launched by the Canadian Space Agency.

The space agency has teamed up with partners in Yellowknife and Calgary to develop the AuroraMax website for which webcams set up around Yellowknife will capture real-time images of the aurora borealis.

A Canadian Space Agency spokesperson said the AuroraMax live streaming feed would begin after dusk, around 9:30 p.m. MT (11:30 p.m. ET).
Live feed at Canadian Space Agency. (I had to pick html version)

I just walked home in a hailstorm, and got soaked. Thirty seconds later and the sun is shining.

I think spring has finally arrived for us here down south (really south - Adelaide, Australia!). After an eternity of weeks of grey dull weather the sun is out, flowers are flowering, birds ... well I won't say what they are doing!!!
The garden looks like a jungle so I guess today I will be weeding.

That's usually the best answer in this town when you don't like the weather: wait five minutes.

Yeah, that pretty much describes my day earlier. Herding cats into a basement when the sirens go off and they don't want to go is an exercise in futility, by the way...
Then after all that, turns out it was a false alarm. 60 mph gusts and thunder, but no tornadoes, even though the sirens went off.

Whew! That was a wild one! Not me, I guess I'm a bit "brain dead" because I had my nose pressed against the window to watch for anything. We don't have a basement and windows everywhere. Might as well enjoy the show! Our portable basketball hoop came down, but I sure thought we were going to lose some trees or our failing corn crib! We do have a lot of stuff, shingles from the corn crib and play stuff all over and out in the fields that we'll have to retrieve!

I heard there was a lot of "wind damage" in Oregon... no details though. I also heard that they had to remove a tree that came down on someone in Rockford. I'll have to watch the news tonight.

It's definitely becoming autumn here....leaves are beginning to turn frost warnings in the mountains and valleys, highs in the 80s all week and ski resorts are readying the snowmaking equipment...
