Wither the weather

Actually, until last evening, our plans had us traveling West, with a sweet itinerary down through Alabama, ending in Mobile. We made the mistake of looking at the weather, however, and all across Alabama, Mississipp and Texas … OUR ROUTE! … for the coming week and a half the temperatures were in the 90s. The HIGH 90s. If we went north, the temperatures were in the mid-70’s and low 80’s, promising the start of a beautiful autumn. We could finish the Virginia/North Carolina tour that had been aborted, and see Heather’s nephew, Matthew, in Charlotte.

Oh the irony. The rain started a little south of Charlotte. Now it is quite vigorous. Checking the radar … oh My God! It’s a superstorm that covers 3 states and is moving right TOWARDS us!! And Alabama, Mississippi, Texas temperatures are heading down into the 80s.

Well soldier on. There are nephews to be visited! Tour sites to take in. ponchos to be ferreted out of their hiding places in the trunk!Read more
