Storm Front

I mentioned the sounds of the seasons last week and with the trees at full foliage that summer has arrived. It arrived full on over the weekend with temps topping 35 degrees. This isn't entirely rare; we get a couple of weeks worth of stinkers every year. This year may be a bit early (and may have actually broken records) but the weather itself is not uncommon. What is uncommon is that along with the warm weather came the associated thunderstorms warnings and this time, when the warnings appeared on the weather network, they came with the little icon above. TORNADO WARNING!

This is new...I have heard of tornadoes touching down in NB - I think there was one somewhere in the Miramichi basin last year - but it was like a freak occurrence. This time the weather system blowing through actually warranted a warning. It was the first time I had to consider a twister in my plans. We were thinking of going for a walk last evening and saw the storm clouds gathering on the horizon and thought "I'd love an ice cream but a tornado would ruin my hair". We decided against the walk. Of course, the tornado never came and I still crave ice cream.

Next time I'm taking my chances...what's the worst that could happen; end up in Oz? I've got an uncle I would like to visit there so, hey, free trip.

Pace out.

We were at Charlie Pool bar thingy, and Jason almost got impaled by an umbrella! I felt like we were in the movie Twister. And I was Helen Hunt.
