In NC listening to the rain fall... watching the tropics on News14

I have never seen a city so weather intensive and yet the severe thunderstorm was so weak. Channel 14 News is doing nonstop weather on this "severe" outbreak and I have heard one soft rumble in the distance despite what looks like bright orange on top of my house. It's sort of funny, sort of overkill, sort of fun... but the rain falling is so gentle. They are showing some weather cam of a picturesque street and perfect looking church in Fayetteville.

He thinks the severe threat has tapered off... Really, I so agree. But, I am so happy to be lying in bed, listening to the rain fall and watching radar on TV nonstop and it's not even TWC. And, I am wondering what it will be like here if anything actually forms in the Caribbean. Sort of exciting in a way, newness... very cool.

"On the Ones" they show the weather and they show a wide open .... oh wait... I hear distant thunder again... (must be that cell over in New Hope).. they show a wide open satellite image and the whole tropical basin.

Very cool. Have I said "very cool" already, the rain is cool too by the way...

As for the tropics...there is even less going on in the tropics than in this rainstorm.

In the Pacific... there is a busted forecast as Carlos was expected to intensify and hasn't really noticeably and am wondering why..not that it has been so busy there but still..should have intensified some.

So... that's it from North Carolina..

On a personal note, we went for a ride yesterday to Oriental. My husband knows I miss the sea, and I love sailboats and he heard there were a lot of them there. He found a ferry that went from nearby Minnesot Beach (didn't look like a beach..) and so we took a long drive and a ferry ride that was incredible and saw some of the most beautiful sailboats up close and personal sitting in Pamlico Sound which had the most amazingly incredible smell... so real, so nice.

Check out the gulls flying along with the ferry... trust me a much nicer ride than over to Fisher Island on the ferry ;)







Have a beautiful day... Besos Bobbi
