Hurricaine Isabel
I would like to wish everyone well who is in the path of Isabel. Looks awesome and dangerous. So all, take care, and keep the hatches battened!

It's been cloudy here since last night and it's been windy today, but now the wind is starting to pick up more and the first rains have started. We're not going to get it as bad as North Carolina - but we'll get the tropical storm. It's just amazing to think that the wind that we feel and the clouds are a swerling mass that is right now - 7 hours drive south of us.
I am glad it's not hitting NJ and I'm glad that it went all the way down from a category 5 to a category 2 by the time it hit land. If it was a category 5 - it would have been devastating - even all the way up here. My aunt and uncle live in North Carolina - but they live in Greensboro and my cousin lives in Ashville - so they're far enough inland. My other cousin lives in Alexandria Virginia - so they're going to get hit a little bit harder. It seems as if the center of the storm will just pass west of me. MY one cousin who lives in Beachwood - went to the beach yesterday (Seaside Heights) and said the waves were awesome. We've been seeing larger waves for the past week - but hopefully they won't be too bad as the night goes on.

We in the UK are usually relatively safe from natural hazards. There are huge fires in Portugal and Siberia and flood and hurricaine in the States. Nature, eh? 'Tis wonderous and fearsome!

The last earthquake in the UK centered outside Manchester, if I remember rightly. There was one in Edinburgh a few years back and a chimney stack fell down!
In 1987 there was a hurricaine that devastated large swathes of the south of England. We do get moorland fires and so on, but not usually on the same scale as other countries! We are lucky. Only problems are usually related to the dismal weather which, as you proll know, is subject of endless discussion!

It's nice and sunny here and hasn't rained all week.
![]() I can understand what the people getting hit are going through. When Hurricane Opal made landfall in October 1995 it was a Category 3 storm (I think) and the eye went right over my town. It's the strangest thing when there's this massive storm raging outside and then all of a sudden everything gets quiet. And we were a good 100 miles inland.

How are other places around the world reporting the Hurricane. I'm watching the French news and they just said that the Hurricane is already being termed the "Hurricane of the Century".

Hugs to anyone out there in that storm. We never have that sort of storm here and it's good that we don't. I'd have died of fright I think.

We're getting the remnants of it today in Ontario, although most of it is over lake Ontario, we've got rain and high wind.

It rained all night and all morning, this morning. We are under a flood warning right now, but that's nothing new. This has been the soggiest summer here that I can remember. I did see that Concord Ohio, in Lake county got the most rain here from the remnants of Isabel, 3.15 inches
