"We're supposed to get some bad weather tonight and tomorrow..."
"Wow, Thanks, I have not been following up on the weather like I should, I'll check it out..."
Now at this time of the year, we can't take much chances. The month of October used to be the end of the hurricane season, but not any more.
The days have been so HOTT and steamy, that we all knew there had to be some weather knocking around waiting for us.
Secretly, I was hoping that we would have a little rainfall to cool the place off.
But not like this......the rain started from last night, and now today is rainy, rainy, rainy....as I said, Be Careful What You Wish For.
I can barely see the outline of the harbour in the distance.
Menacing rain clouds
It's very very windy...
Both the palms in the garden and the potted ones in my "Palm Alley" are being manhandled by strong gusts of wind.
The Met Office had pronounced that the weather would mostly affect the north of the island......yes, I know what you are thinking....how on earth could a tiny island of only 166 square miles, have weather predictions for specific areas....we wonder too, because it never plays out how they report it.
My property is bounded by a water course, a natural waterway that allows rainwater to flow and make its way seaward. The rain has abated somewhat for now, so here are some photos.
We all know who is staying inside today.
He doesn't look too pleased about that either.
It's definitely a soup day....yes, a nice big pot of vegetable soup with lots of fresh herbs and some fluffy dumplings....yum yum.
