It Has Begun

by Bob Rinear, The International Forecaster:

What about if a storm is predicted to bear down on your town? What do you do in the few days ahead? Well let me say it like this, if it’s Sandy size or Katrina size, none of this is going to matter much.

No Trump, no Syria, no Russians, no politics today. Today we take a break from that stuff and swing over to something very important…your safety. So let me start by saying I’m writing this Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a storm brewing.

June starts “hurricane” season and it is starting off with a bang. Tropical storm warnings have been posted along the Louisiana coast for a developing system now in the Gulf of Mexico.

The system is labeled “Potential Tropical Cyclone Three” , which is a new designation from the National Hurricane Center for systems that have not developed yet, but that will likely bring tropical storm impacts soon.

If the system’s sustained winds reach 39 mph, it will be named Tropical Storm Cindy and that could happen today. (Tuesday) The system is “expected to produce total rain accumulations of 4 to 8 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 10 inches over southeastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle through Thursday morning,” the hurricane center said.

I have a feeling this is going to be a fairly heavy Hurricane Season. Think about it, if this storm gets named, it’s going to be “Cindy”. Why in the “C’s” already? Because we’ve already had two named storms and interestingly ‘Bret” was the earliest named storm to form in this part of the Atlantic since official records were kept in 1851. So yes, this year is already off to the races.

I certainly have a history of living in weird weather places. From atop a mountain in the Pocono’s of PA, to the Jersey shore, and of course the Florida gulf coast, all of these areas have a penchant for some rough weather at times. On top of Mt. Pohopoco in PA, we often had horrendous ice storms, wicked cold of zero and below for days, and of course snow, snow snow.

On the Jersey shore you could always expect the occasional “nor Easter” that would bash my docks, toss my boats around, and flood the streets. But then of course came “Sandy” and she put “weather” into a whole new category. It’s one thing when you’re house is battered around in a storm, it’s something completely different when every house on your street is…gone. Literally.

While anthropologists suggest we humans evolved out of the African plains, and have theories as to why we stand erect, squint, etc…I don’t believe it. I think we were “littoral” people. ( which means where the water meets the shore, bays, rivers, beaches) I think we evolved at the shorelines. I also think that is why so much of the population decides to live within a few miles of the coasts. It’s like going “home” ancestrally.

I think we learned to stand because we did an awful lot of wading in the shallow waters. I think we developed the ability to “squint” because if you’ve ever looked out across the water on a bright day, you have no choice but to shield your eyes a bit, it’s brilliantly, glaringly bright. I think we’re not covered in body hair because it isn’t very good for swimming, diving, or most anything connected to the shoreline.

(How did I branch of on all this?! Don’t worry I’ll come full circle) Did you know there’s only ONE “sport” in which females dominate males? Yes indeed, long distance swimming. If you look at channel crossings, Cuba to Florida, etc, it’s always the gals. That would make sense too if we were littoral creatures and the Missus needed to get away from some nasty males.

Anyway, whether I’m right or I’m full of baloney, the FACT is we swarm the beaches, rivers, inlets etc, and we build on every square inch of the waterfront. For what ever reason you want to think we’re drawn to the water, it doesn’t much matter, but indeed we are. And unfortunately, that’s where hurricanes happen to end up.

When Katrina hit New Orleans so many years back, you could watch the horror on TV and feel sympathy for the people. But until you’ve lived through it, you really cannot relate. I like so many had seen the blow by blow event unroll on TV and sat glued to the TV for days watching the horror of it all and feeling so helpless for those folks. But as far as the actual personal affect on lives, I couldn’t possibly relate. Until Sandy.

When Sandy hit is when I understood the shock, the sadness, the despair of something that destructive. Walking hand in hand days later with my neighbor lady, as she cried at the destruction. Her house, gone. Not damaged, gone. And the next neighbor and the next and the next. The town had run bulldozers up and down the streets, piling up untold parts of houses, furniture, heirlooms, etc. It cannot be explained.
