I have a good friend who lives over in Maine and as I write she is braced for Hurricane Kyle. While this Hurricane is only a category one storm, living through any event like this can not be easy. My thoughts are with her and her kin.
However, one curiosity about Hurricane Kyle is that it is coming in from the sea and not up the coast line. This is the type of storm event that was predicted by climate models to start to occur by 2050
This is not the only effect of a changing climate that has happened sooner than predicted, and it looks as though we need to start looking at the effects that were previously predicted fifty and hundred years hence as happening in the coming decade.
But for now my thoughts are with all the people that Hurricane Kyle is impacting.

Aww thanks for your kind words! *hugs* I needed them!
I just posted an update-merely a light rain and no wind right now.
Maybe it will take a hard right and miss us.
Hello wood mouse,
The "predictions" of future occurrences were deliberately post-dated to avoid panic.
Everything that was 'predicted' to happen fifty to 100 years in the future is happening now.
Panic might start soon; it's already starting in the South, with the gas shortages.
One scientific paper stated that the human race might have 20 years to live. I don't really even think we will make it that far, at this rate. We might as well enjoy simple things while we still can. Thank you for pointing out the really important things in life.
