We woke up this morning to thunder, lightening and
zero visibility rainfall.
It sounds like the world is coming to an end again
but then again we have a tin roof on our house and even a drizzle sounds like
a hurricane is pounding us.
I tried to turn on the weather channel, but the TV wouldn't turn on.
( Damn remote is broken
and Spectrum is taking their time getting us a new one)
So I dialed into our Myrtle Beach live news station on my PC.
It turns out that the storm we were expecting yesterday
has finally arrived complete with tornado warnings .
Unfortunately this station is not as helpful as we would like.
Their Weather Doppler Station is located in North Carolina (about 50 miles North of us),
and some dense tall trees on a neighbors property
just to the South of that station
are blocking their signal from reaching Pawleys Island.
The only thing the station's newscaster can tell us about our area is
that conditions are ripe for a tornado touching down.
(Right now that threat seems to be about 5 miles to the North of us
and moving in our direction).
Due to the low visibility the road conditions are hazardous.
We are being advised to stay indoors and away from windows.
Needless to say there will be no COVID emergency meal kits delivered into the area today;
So this weather-maker is imposing some very real hardships
on some of our communities' low income families.
