What a view this morning

#1 Postby NC George » Mon Aug 30, 2004 5:29 am

I am about 80 miles due east of the remnants of Gaston as I type this. I just opened the door to throw the cat out (I work nights, time to go to bed!) and the view outside is spectacular. On the east the sun is rising over a mostly clear sky, with a few fast moving wispy bands visible. Due South you can see the grey beginning of Gaston's rainshield, and due West the sky is black with storm clouds. Wind has definitely picked up in the past few hours, but is still less than 15 mph.

Similar site here ... a beautiful pink in the sky left over from the sun coming up in the east; dark rain clouds in the west. Just enough breeze to make my cats want to run and around and chase falling leaves outside in the muggy, humid, tropical atmosphere.

My grandmother who was 1/2 Cherokee would say "a hurricane washes the sky"

'washes the sky' sounds like the perfect description -- the sky always seems brighter and sharper, and a deeper blue on the day after a hurricane passes through.
