Rain and Wind Redouble the Trouble
The rain and wind started last night, and have only increased in intensity. Standing water in my yard is now deeper than all winter. Three four inches of rain in 24 hours and it’s coming down harder than ever. It’s no hurricane, but it’s a bleeping crazy winter. An earthquake now, and the liquified soil would be devastating all over the place.
You get up for your day, and you never know whether it will be your last, and that’s worth remembering each and every day.
One worker was just trying to do his job, driving down Alpine Road today in my town, and the wind threw a huge tree across the roading, killing him instantly. A tragedy for his family, a seriously raw deal.
By some miracle, we’ve had electricity all day with only sporadic fractional-second hiccups.
Tigger our natural-born killer cat been eating his natural diet the past few nights, but it’s funny as hell to see him race inside after insisting on going out for night patrol. But he keeps going out and somehow in the pouring rain he had a bird dinner tonight. We do not encourage his bird eating, but cat gonna cat.
