Rock….but, please, no roll!
Well, today is our first experience with wind warnings in our RV. We’ve been anticipating this weather disturbance for a couple of days but it’s not as bad as we’d feared (yet!). There’s some weather anomaly that all the weathermen and women are salivating over. A low pressure system is working it’s way up the East Coast (if it were the dead of winter, it would be a Nor’Easter) and it’s clashing with two other fronts over the Ohio Valley and New England today. We’re all the way down here in North Carolina and we’re getting the low today and supposed to get even higher winds once everything is in motion this evening.
You know, I see those hurricanes and those fronts and especially those Nor’Easters on the weather maps and the reach they have sometimes, from north to south, always amazes me.
We woke up to the RV rockin’ about in the wind and rain hitting the windows and the fiberglass roof…which is quite a hypnotic sound (making it very hard to get out of bed). It feels like there’s a giant child outside rocking the RV back and forth and the thunder is him saying, “Vroom! Vroom!”
As long we only rock…and don’t roll, we’ll be just fine.
My sister is supposed to pick us up today and take us to do some touristy stuff…but I’m not sure I’m keen on getting all wet. I know people walking in the wind and rain today are getting soaked. This is the kind of sideways rain that gleefully assaults innocent umbrellas.
I was looking out the window at a group of veterans RVers this morning. You can tell the veterans because they’re usually about 30+ years older than us and they have maps on their RVs that show they’ve been to every state in the U.S. and every province in Canada. None of them looked the least bit tense or worried about the weather, so I guess we’ll be okay.
Max is watching TV and is cuddled up in Ali’s quilt. Frank’s taking a shower. Ali just finished putting away the breakfast dishes. And Richard just slammed one of the windows because the wind switched direction and rain started pouring in on his leg. Heh.
