Mancat Monday -- Hurricane Dorian


Hey Micki here!
Mompurrson says I am turning more and more
into a manCAT.
Can you see how grownup I am?

Well the Mompurrson is fretting.
I don't get what she is fretting over.
But she says in less than two weeks we'll be
in the smack dab middle of 
HURRICANE SEASON.
What's that?
I'm not old enough to know what that is.
Anyway she is feeling the worry.
It's September and the 10th is
the height of the season.
So she'll have a worried brow until Nov now.
When's November?

Edited update:
I will be writing some posts quite a bit for future
posting because well
Dorian.
This storm is one of the most powerful
storms to ever exist. It is not a joke or a drill.
This is the real deal.
Right now, we along the Eastern seaboard are
in a more active hurricane period. El Nino has
returned back to the Pacific. One day that pattern
will shift and we'll go back to the quiet time,
when that will happen is unknown. But that's
just the historical nature of Hurricanes in both
the Atlantic and Pacific (although they are
called Typhoons in the Pacific-- and most of the
time they don't impact the US, so our media
does not dwell report on them).
It's sad in a way to make this commentary,
but I think that the media tends to sensationalize any
major massive event. The build up for a Hurricane
is a dance, it's all about timing. There is a period
of time that you know ahead of it that it's coming.
Oh boy you do.
But you don't know when or where it will arrive.
It builds anxiety. Terrible anxiety.
So that's where I'm at now.
You would think with 6 decades under my belt
I would have adapted. But, truth be told, no I have
only grown more fearful of these Monsters of the Sea.
I don't know if the current information will hold
and that Florida will be spared a major hit. I can only pray that it
will, and that all communities will too.
It looks like it has a decent chance of curving out to
sea, and I truly pray that holds. Hurricanes are devastating
events for communities, and sadly once the mayhem
has happened the media packs up it's cameras and
moves away and communities are left trying to put
the pieces back together again.
I suggest goggling Mexico Beach.
A small community in the panhandle of Florida, largely
unpopulated with no appeal of a New Orleans (Katrina),
it has been left to rebuild quietly and on the backs of
those who chose to stay there. It wasn't just Mexico Beach
 that was devastated either, it was all the way up into rural Georgia . Small
communities no one gives a voice to.

Please keep all in your prayers.
As this is out of hands,
and it's all in Natures corner now.
