Yay Cheryl! Rain is good as long as it's not too much.
I've been wondering if Addie had her hair ruffled this morning. Seems like she is situated just a bit away from the path of the tornado that blew through the Boston area this morning. Meanwhile, we've had some cloudy skies out our way, a thread of rain but no liquid, and some sun and puffy clouds. Just waiting for the rest of the front to move through so our humidity drops. The next couple of days promise to be open-window weather
I can see the Chelsea Bridge from my window. It crosses the Chelsea Creek. And I am just two roadways from that. The tornado was first spotted right next to the bridge. Had it gone right, it would have hit my building. But it went the opposite direction. It hopped over the bridge and went across the highway that runs right next to my building. Route 1A. It hopped around at an angle and after it left 1A, it went to Broadway in Revere. It was only formed for four minutes, but did a lot of damage in that short time. This building was blessed this time. This is the first tornado that has ever been seen in Suffolk County or recorded. What is really scary is that I am surrounded by oil farms. You know, those great big tanks that they store oil in. These farms provide oil for all of New England. Had just one of those tanks got picked up even half full, If the tornado had been an EF4 or 5, and picked up one of those tanks, which they are quite capable of doing, I wouldn't be sitting here right now. I would be looking down at you from above. Really scary to think about.
Other than that good news, it is nice and cool out and will be so for a couple of days.
