Jekyll, and Hyde, Manic/Depressive/Mercurial, Bi-Polar.......these terms all describe today's weather here in Aqua-RV Land.
I realize that by discussing weather and keeping track of the weather, I am turning into my parents, which is a scary thing that no child ever wants to happen. But, when you live outdoors much of the summer months, you cannot help but be attuned to the weather because it is literally and figuratively in your face, twenty-four-seven.
Throughout most of last night the winds raged, the thunder roared, the lightning crackled and the rain pelted the scorched earth here. About 8 a.m. the skies cleared somewhat and the wind lessened to a strong breeze. Within an hour, the winds were back up to 25 to 30 knots, bringing higher-than-normal waves crashing onto the dock and whipping up the water in the channel. Walking down the docks, head into wind, was a challenge at best and it was a struggle to keep one's balance and not be toppled into the water. The winds held throughout the day, until late afternoon when the wind subsided but the thunder, lightning and heavy rain descended upon us once again. After about three hours of the heavens crying and a-hollerin', heavy, heavy fog fell like a lead balloon, encapsulating everything in a haze that was as thick as a facial cotton ball. Walking about the docks in the fog was almost dangerous as it was difficult to see past forty to fifty feet ahead.
Sudden shifts in weather made it seem as if Mother Nature was having temper tantrums today. You never knew what mood she would be in. Tonight we are due for more storms, some which may be strong.
I think Mother Nature needs some talk and drug therapy.
