The Weather

 

Sometimes weather can change rapidly.  I knew there was a storm on the way today (although, once again, it is forecast to go mostly around us), so was up early doing the things I wanted.

First up was a short walk in the wind beside Hamilton Lake before heading for the supermarket. 

Back home, I managed to get some lettuce seedlings in the ground before the rain arrived late morning.

It got steadily heavier into the afternoon, and there was a bit of surface flooding around the place.  It is now evening and the rain is still steadily falling.

Many places around the country are under warnings to prepare for heavy rain and strong winds, thunderstorms, and possible tornadoes.

I’m not sure if the storm is really bad enough for all these warnings or if officialdom is becoming paranoid about warning people of possible adverse conditions.

Maybe some people need to be told everything, but I just hope that a Cry Wolf situation is not being created as that could have disastrous results when we do have the occasional severe storm pass through.

I watched a replay of the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle last night.  What they can achieve now with drones is nothing short of amazing.  Loved it.
