Hurricane Floyd - September 1999

 
This hurricane was on top of my daughter, her friend Robert from Australia, and me all the way from Sarasota to Boston. We stopped for pizza in North Carolina and ate at a place with a sign on the dorr that said, "Leave your gun in the car!" It between the three of us, we had more teeth than the other 40 people in the place combined. It was still better than driving in the storm.

Drove all the way up the East Coast; Robert didn't see a single sight.

I love watching the weather.
I can't explain it.
A favorite Ozark brag is comparing rain gauge amounts.
