Here is a mundane factoid I just noticed a couple of hours ago. My house windows just fogged up around 7PM. That may not seem like it is even mundane-perhaps pointless. However, that is how I realized that the eye of TS Christobal passed over my house. The air pressure dropped enough to cause moisture to condense on my nice cool single-pane french doors. I have been through numerous hurricanes and have had the eye cross over me several times, but this is the first time I have noticed this effect. Kind of mundane, but interesting to me. ---

We’re expecting the storm in S. Arkansas tomorrow morning. It’s been a very humid day. I hope the storm clears that out. The only fear is flash flooding. All the creeks and rivers are full around here. ---

And here I thought this was about some gender issue… ---

It was much ado about nothing here on the Northshore. ---

It is raining here, sometimes heavy, but I wouldn’t know that it was a tropical depression remnant if I hadn’t read/saw that on tv. Brian ---

Cristobal rolled over us last night, bringing some gale force winds coming off Lake Michigan and inundating my poor overworked seawall (which withstood the challenge, based on my early AM inspection today). Not much rain here, though. Now it’s headed for Lake Superior, which apparently has never had a tropical storm remnant roll over it before, at least in recorded history. ---

I kept seeing reports for severe thunderstorms yesterday here in Chicago, and every time I checked, it seemed like the storms were constantly being pushed back two hours, and then two hours again, and then two hours again. We did get some rain, but the totals in my area were under a third of an inch. It is currently a little wet outside, but I was expecting more severe weather (and I was a little disappointed, as a love a good thunderstorm.) That said, the winds were pretty gusty, and a few tree branches were strewn about. Luckily, none landed on my wife’s car (mine is in the garage). I got a nice dent in my hood about ten years ago from a wind-felled tree limb.
