Hurricane Irma Aftermath
Well, what can you say...after a week of 24/7 news coverage, endless doomsday pontifications, mass evacuations, and great hysteria...the storm is gone. Lots of regional flooding, downed trees and pow...

Yeah, bullets dodged. We live in tornado country and typically get a couple of intense thunderstorms each year. It pays to know what is happening and online radar w/NWS makes it fairly easy to dodge bullets.
When my kids were young, the local emergency service people thought it a good idea to start the sirens during nearly every heavy thunder storm. Scared the little girl all to heck. The TV news people thought it was a good thing to add in their own hyperbole. Eventually, nobody paid any attention to the sirens and the media folks backed off. Things are now back to normal.
Hopes and prayers out to all those affected by the recent hurricanes. The Caribbean looks to be a real mess.
