Hurricane Ike is moving away from Cuba and towards the Texas coast. On arrival, by the weekend, the storm will be packing winds well in excess of 125 mph. The worst aspect will be very high storm surge flooding. No details at this moment, but anyone who is ordered to evacuate should do so immediately.
Typhoon Sinlaku is heading northnortheast towards Japan. Although this typhoon (the Pacific equivalent of a hurricane) is building towards category 4 status, it will have lost most of its puff by the time it comes near southwestern Japan over the weekend.
The body of a man was found inside a tent, pitched near Loch Einich in the Cairngorm mountains southeast of Inverness. It had been there for several months. Police are appealing for anyone with information to get in touch.
Wednesday starting out as a beautiful sunny day here in the northwest. Predicted to be in the high 70's. No rain showing up in the near future. I'll be dragging the hoses out today to water the front lawn & flowers. Linda in Washington

ReplyDeleteWe are having a splendid day here in PA...it is cool, breezy & abundant sunshine. It makes it hard to believe there is a pending hurricane to our South. I hope folks heed the warnings.
