Interesting Hurricane Earl Map Update: I like this map because you can really see what the threat level of the hurricane is all along the coast. Maine is at the “medium threat level” which will probably give us some nice swells coming in from the ocean along with rain and wind (possibly up to 45mph). Check out Weather.com for more up-to-date information.
Local Weather Update: More stifling heat is making life miserable at at the moment. The heat index is so high that several schools in Maine (not ours…we are a hardy bunch at Lewiston) canceled classes for two days in a row. We do not have air conditioning, so when you have a classroom filled with kids the temp. easily climbs into the low 90s, and it is difficult for everyone to concentrate on school work when you have sweat pouring off you!
Hurricane Earl Update: Hurricane Earl is still a Category 4 hurricane with winds up to 140mph. Yowzer! The hurricane will be felt from the Carolinas to Maine.
Weather Update: We are currently in a heat wave with 4 days in a row showing heat indices between 91-94F. Wow, is it ever hot, and the air quality is poor. So, everyone should curb their outdoor activities until the daytime temperature drops.
Hotter’n Heck: It is 86F in the shade today. The sun is shining, the air is dry, and the sky is clear. If you think this is hot…tomorrow is supposed to be 92F, Wednesday 91F, Thursday 90F !!! What gives? This is Maine, for Pete’s sake! Next week, the temp. will be back down in the low 70’s which is much more to our liking.
Rain Barrel needed: Anybody know where we can get a reasonably priced rain barrel? Or…where we can get a pickle barrel to construct one ourselves? It is high time we captured the little bit of rain we are getting so we can water the plants.
No rain from this storm: We got gypped.The storm skirted around us. Ugh…
