The region is
mostly recovered from the last round of high winds. Power has been restored and people are warm
and dry, assuming that they were warm and dry previously.
Today’s
forecast includes a high wind warning that is aimed at us. The winds will now blow at high velocity from
the Southeast. The potential for damage
to trees and property is high. This
storm may actually bring more reason to worry.
The higher winds and potential thunderstorms are forecast to arrive late
in the afternoon and increase in intensity during the dark hours.
What one
hears but can’t see is often far worse in generating concern than what one can
see and hear. There’s very little prep
we can do to lessen the impact of tonight and tomorrow’s winds.
Still, while
the forecasters have become better at their craft, the storm intensity may drop
a bit. The storm track may wobble or
bend. We can certainly hope for an
intensity decrease. Trees that broke
last week may not undergo any further breaking.
We remain
fortunate. We have no travel plans that
require us to hazard the highways in blizzard or near-blizzard conditions. The stove is loaded if it is needed tonight. We have warm clothing, headlamps, and many
things to read. We may even be able to
conjure up some Chinese food and a movie. Although that would have been more
appropriate for last night.
“Chopsticks
ready!”
