Rain Induced Fog

It is raining so hard at my house it looks like fog. I find this comforting. A day of severe weather always puts me in a good mood. Years of living in tornado alley have left their mark on me. I can feel the storm coming and look for ways of either being outside or glued to the weather channel.

Years ago I chased tornados, as a volunteer storm spotter as part of NOAAs Storm Warn network. Now I live where the hills and trees make chasing too dangerous. Technology has improved to the point that storm spotters are not as needed. What has not improved is the general public knowledge of what to look for between the sky and the radar. In part this is social Darwinism at work, if you drive into the tornado you get what nature had in mind for you.

My day started out with a presentation on how putting your big goals first enhances the likelihood on you accomplishing them and an hour of exercise. I worked on getting rid of old clutter, filling up over a sack of trash. Now, as the storm moves on I will finish fixing Mediterranean vegetable and lentils for dinner.
