Hurricane Harbor

Tuesday, March 31, 2020

As we Sail Into April ... Inspiring Stories, Looking Back at How We Roared Back AFTER the Spanish Flu in the Roaring 20s.

As we all watch the hospital ship sail into NYC Harbor.

We are all in awe of this larger than life drama going on.

Both in our personal lives and collective lives.

The size and scope of this shows in this picture.

That's a huge ship... a huge hospital.

Trying to post every day as we get closer to the Hurricane Season and to be honest it kind of saves my sanity to write every day. My brother, the author, says I need to proofread more. I know, he's right, but this is my off season when few read the blog and I think of it more like an online diary. I'll try to be more on top of that proofreading and trying to be more uplifting rather than depressing as we work our way through this part of 2020 when quarantining is all the rage today. Rage really isn't a popular word anymore ...now that I think on that but it was all the rage in the 1920s that were much more fun if you were a flapper and danced til dawn.

For those of you not as much into the history of the Roaring 20s as I have always been and unaware of the social demographic issues that led up to this raucous period infamous for young kids climbing flagpoles, swallowing gold fish and girls raising their skirts and bobbing their hair up and so let me explain it to this way... they were exhaling, reacting, breathing and having fun after the hard times of World War 1 where sons, brothers and lovers marched off to war and then tragically on their way home many of those soldiers died on ships from the Spanish Flu. It wasn't the happiest of times and when the flu ebbed away and a short term 2 year mini depression from the after effects of WW1 and the Pandemic wore off people bounced back as they always do with a dizzying array of changes that impacted music, fashion and travel and the world was never the same. The Model T Ford led to people wanting to travel further from home and the hospitality business opened up road side "motels" and the US government began for the first time to really give people paid vacations and Americans hit the road looking for Tin Can Motels and a beach somewhere with pretty girls and handsome guys looking to have fun again.

Many students of history are wondering on the parallels and this graph is from the link below that discusses it in more detail than I am here today. Note even Wikipedia mentions the Spanish Flu as one hard time that people endured before the 1920s really began to roar with music, laughter and jazz.

I'm out of bananas and I don't see any in my future unless I break down and get some from the store so ... this song so resonated with me. I'm guessing it resonates with many here as well.

Nuff said on the Roaring 20s for now, but there are parallels, because people do tend to bounce back in the same way the England did after theaters were open again and life, literature and theater went on again. I read online that Shakespeare wrote the play King Lear during a plague. I'll have to run that past Snopes to see if it's true or very early urban legend!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_theatre_closure_1642

Next I wanted to show a video that is so inspiring and shows how even a tragic, deadly pandemic can bring the best out in people just trying to help make a difference for someone in need. I read about this last Saturday in the local paper that did a beautiful uplifting story and been meaning to mention it online. Seems the movement has gone viral (good use of that term) and spread to other cities so it shows you that good deeds can spread fast too!

That is so beautiful and I suggest you share that video with someone who feels down, depressed and hopeless and that pretty much describes most of us at some point of our day when reading about people in need of prayer or who have died. I'm really trying to balance my time between prayer and taking time to breathe, refresh my mind and soul and then I go back to praying with friends in Crown Heights and Florida who are in prayer groups for relatives. You gotta do what you gotta do and if my allergies weren't an issue I'd take a long walk along the golf course across the street and stare in wonder at the flowers in bloom ... but the pollen wouldn't be good for my system so I probably won't. A friend and distant cousin posted this beautiful picture the other day in honor of the medical and public service people who are risking their lives to help us all.

That says it all for Raleigh, North Carolina.

Another uplifting story I read recently is below.

I also read it this past Saturday.

A pop up sort of place to help the homeless.

Let people take showers..

...cut their hair.

Uplift their spirit.

It uplifted mine.

People are trying to help...

... not easy.

I worked as a librarian.

Some of our nicest patrons were the homeless.

They hung out reading, going online.

Librarians get to know them well.

Often patrons don't appreciate them as much...

...as the librarians do.

Lastly a few pictures of how we are all doing.

Doing as in surviving and thriving emotionally.

While staying home or isolating.

Key West NWS is awesome to follow.

As is another NWS on the opposite side of the USA

There's a close up of their forecast drawing.

Speaking of crayons I love color.

I love make up because I'm coloring.

That's what I told my friend Chana yesterday.

She lives in Israel.

She's a Make Up Artist... weddings, parties.

Not a lot of work these days ...

..so she tries to cheer us up online.

Playfully doing cute, fun things.

You can follow her on Instagram.

She's one of my daughter's best friends.

Kind of a child from another mother.

Ode to Miami History. Roasted Nuts & White Chocolate, Caramels & Cashews. Cocaine Cowboys. Films Music & What We Learn From History as we Deal with Covid 19.

Roasted nuts and white chocolate.

Caramels and cashews...

Music from the carousel

off in the distance out of view.

In a half empty mall...

in my memories bright but small.

Deep in the recesses of my mind..

sharing them with my brother

one memory at a time.

Once upon a time ...
and what a time it was...
There was a Mall next to a Hotel.
The rooms over looked Biscayne Bay.
In the mall parents shopped and kids played.
Teenagers hung out in record shops buying music.
Cocaine Cowboys made deals out in the parking lots.
Miami Vice came to down riding neon lit streets outside.
Miami was a boom town once again and then......
Time moved on, bigger hotels and fancier malls.
Aventura Florida was built in the early 1990s
They drained a swamp..
They paved paradise and built a bigger mall.
People drove up Collins Avenue to shop and dine.
Luxury Hotels were built in nearby Sunny Isles
And Omni Mall became a ghost town.
A has been waiting to be torn down.

For me Omni was a place to escape to after work before the kids came home after I moved back to Miami from LA and I loved that it was quiet and I could wander through the adjacent Jordan Marsh department store that I grew up in as we went there at least twice a week after my Grandma went to the doctor across the street and the store was our treat for being quiet in the waiting room. The Ice Cream Parlor, the Raggedy Ann and Andy Dolls suspended from the ceiling on swings during the holidays or the ever popular Biscayne Dining room looking out of beautiful Biscayne Bay. For my younger brother it was a happening alive place that he escaped to just across the Venetian Causeway that he watched go from popular to closing up one store at a time a decade latter.

A little bit of poetry here to start off the morning, mixing it up a bit as I'm looking back at a little bit of Miami history after a long talk with my brother this morning as we shared memories of the Mall closest to Miami Beach in the 1980s. Lincoln Road wasn't popular then as a shopping, dining venue it was where our father worked in his office and we played pinhall in Mike's Cigar Shop that father said was probably a front for a bookie joint; not sure but something was going in that busy room behind the curtain behind the Ballyhoo Pin Ball Machines ;)

My brother wrote a book, buy it on Amazon online it's good and germ free ;) he lives in Greece in a city locked down he could use the money and you could use the poetry and prose to get you through another day in Quarantine ... whatever day this might be as we all have lost count. He used the "roasted nuts and white chocolate" line this morning in Messenger and it inspired me to write this morning's blog. The rest of the poem above is mine ;) but inspired by our talk.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1980911312

History repeats and whether you are studying the history of dead, defunct malls before Big Box Houses like Macys and Sears currently dying even before people started dying from Covid-19 that came along putting the final nail into a world that we grew up in and thought would last forever. Spoiler alert: Nothing lasts forever. We are born to die. Enjoy the moments, the hours of fun in the sun and love ever lasting ... enjoy your moments while you got em cause time never stands still.

Then Miami became popular again as another BOOM TIME hit the city as we painted every building on Miami Beach in shades of Art Deco colors (the City Council seriously had to approve the shade of paint you chose for your house) and the party moved back to Miami Beach and Lincoln Road now a popular place to play, dine or just hang out under the palm trees where the parrots squawked and Miami moved again to another rhythm.

Bayside was built bit by bit and my ex-husband and I would take long, slow rides across Venetian Causeway always ending up at the old Bayside where Sonny Crockett's boat was docked and Hard Rock Cafe was the only show in town before they kept adding on bit by bit. Tracing that ride we watched on TV so often driving back and forth at night across the Venetian Causeway, windows down, music up as we stared out at the neon lights of Miami. The first time I saw the scene below I lived in LA and our night time drives were down Santa Monica Boulevard to La Cienega to Sunset Drive past the Chateau and back again... but now I was home in my Miami.

Fast Forward to 2020.

There's always a little bit of history repeating.

New song, new movie.

Miami popular again as always.

Amazing.

That movie nailed every one of my favorite place...

...where I'd go to wander and get lost and hide.

How did they do that......

.......but I digress.

What we learn from history is this.

Viruses are not just a computer hack....

....they change everything.

Some people die, some people live.

The Spanish Flu hit and things shut down.

Then in the Roaring 20s we roared back.

Dancing the Charleston and having fun again.

A good blog on genealogy teaches us this.

https://larasgenealogy.blogspot.com/2020/03/my-family-in-cholora-pandemic-of-1848.html

If you do genealogy, and I do, you will notice that many ancestors lost family members from the measles and cholera as if it was the most normal thing in the world and it was back then. But, hey a little bit of history repeating and then "we beat on, boats against the current borne back ceaselessly into the past" and we look back, remember and we smile. We learn from the past, we get inspired from the past and then we move on creating a new future, a brave new world.

Time Magazine (remember that one?)

Wrote off Miami as Paradise Lost.

The news media said Miami was dead.

And then it roared back again.

Wrapped up in neon pink.

Ecologically odd.

Aesthetically beautiful.

One of my favorite people.

Paul George the Miami Historian.

And an incredible friend always says..

Miami always has a 2nd Act!

So be like Miami!!

Stay inside, stay home, stay healthy.

Stay alive and then..

Have a Beautiful Second Act!

Again and again.

Tropics on Back Burner This Morning. Small Town Sunday in the Carolinas. Fall Colors Beginning to Peak Through...Rumors & Wishes About Snow.... I Dusted Off My Fake Fireplace Heater.... Yeah, That Happened.

Sometimes a trip out into North Carolina small towns does provide a measure of inspiration that may or may not be used in a novel but does it matter? Inspiration is inspiration and watching people doing things they love be it making art or brewing coffee beans they roast themselves in the Foothills of the Carolinas is what life is all about. Doing things you love. An artist hired to work the Street Fair that usually has live musicians but hired an artist to paint live shared that opportunity with some local artists who set up their paint and boards and painted in the Carolina sunshine while people mingled about enjoying the beauty of the day and watching people doing something they love. Big thanks to https://www.onicasart.com/ for the vision of artistic creativity on display in real time. Check out his paintings, if you have the money and love one buy one!

I had a very nice Sunday and sharing that with y'all this morning as the tropics are dead currently though there is a chance that something will pop up and surprise you later in the month. Ever be at a pond or a pretty canal in Miami somewhere and suddenly some fish pops out of nowhere jumping out of the water and you aren't sure you saw it or imagined it? That's kind of what the tropics are in November... wait for it, wait for it, wait for it... "WOW DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?" and then it's gone, poof... and you wonder if you imagined it and you wait to see the fish jump again and it's moved on down the canal somewhere else. It's kinda like that in the tropics in November.

Monday morning staring me in the face after a very nice Sunday out in Pittsboro one of the nicer small towns in North Carolina and we have many so that's saying a lot. Watched the Carolina Panthers beat Tennessee that oddly had Tannehill playing quarterback (luckily for the Panthers) and on a nearby screen in a cute neighborhood sports bar in Cary... watched the Miami Dolphins actually win a football game. This was followed by a food splurge I will not go into details but let it suffice to say I had Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes and Pumpkin Pie for dessert because I wanted to... and I did.

It was a full kind of Sunday, from wearing boots and winter like clothing listening to Country Music at a Street Fair then going over to the nearby by Trike Rodeo (really) with a Food Truck Rodeo where I found some fantastic coffee roasted locally. Incredible coffee if you are out that way or can buy online... best coffee I have had in ages and I'm very difficult to please when it comes to coffee. I may be a bit of a coffee snob just being honest.

https://www.aromaticroasters.com/about I had a Caramel Latte that was rich in Espresso and Caramel. https://www.instagram.com/aromaticroasters/?hl=en They had some Molasses Crinkles from another local place (sorry forgot the name) that led to a discussion on something called the Boston Molasses Flood and trust me if you are into history you really need to Google that. You can also check out my pictures on Instagram with the most flavorful Latte I have had in ages.

Not 1️⃣ but 2️⃣ chances for snow in the Northeast through the next 10 days ☃️

1️⃣ Thursday night-Friday (7th-8th)
2️⃣ Monday-Tuesday (11th-12th)

Another lobe of frigid, Arctic air is expected to arrive early next week 🥶 pic.twitter.com/tLMxDNH4pB

It's November and apparently I'm supposed to be writing a Novel but I'm blogging and that's just fine because my blog is my diary and there isn't much to talk on tropically this morning. Everyone anywhere geographically close to where there is a sliver of a chance of snow falling on any given day in Winter dreams of snow in November...and this year many people will have their dreams come true. It snowed out by the Appalachian State Football Game briefly over the weekend and online meteorologists are hyping the chance of snow in Carolina this coming week. To be fair on air meteorologists are hinting at snow somewhere near you this coming week.

So I'm just going to say ....using North Carolina as an example.... North Carolina is a big, long, wide state and up in the mountains if a cold front gets close enough it can and will snow and that's not Global Warming or your prayers coming true it's just a matter of Geography. You see not only is North Carolina long and wide it's got tall mountains along it's Western backbone and well between the cold weather coming down from the North and the mountains being high it snows early. That doesn't mean it will snow in Charlotte or Raleigh or Wilmington down by the beach but someone could get snow. Last year it snowed in Raleigh in November and then pathetically didn't snow at all the rest of the winter. Let's hope that doesn't happen again.

Between hype and wishing you'll find me. Of course part of me always wants snow. Part of me wants a hurricane to track or even a tropical storm or heck I'd even take an Invest but I may or may not get either but no one outlawed wishing so just leave me alone and let me do my thing. I might even write because it's November and they have that "make you feel guilty you ain't writing a novel NaNoWriMo" that has great alliteration as does Tannehill in Tennessee.
https://www.nanowrimo.org/

So I'm going to do what I love today and watch some weather loops, read some Tolstoy (yes I wrote that) and make some To Do Lists because being a Capricorn and attempting to organize my life makes me happy even if it's just an illusion; sometimes illusions are good. Do what you love and love what you do and be kind to people today.

You know where to look in November for tropical action, so just putting this here as a gentle reminder it's not over til it's over. Maybe I'll write something more than a blog this November, it's only November 4th I don't have to make that decision today. Do I?

Ps... Sometimes you gotta get out of the City.

And go out to the Country or a small town.

And just do your thing.

Or see others enjoying life.
Walking around NYC is like that too!
People watching... leaf watching.
Weather Watching ;)

Updated 2PM. Area off the E Coast Needs to be Watched. May "Interact" with a Cold Front if the Cold Front Actually Shows Up. Stay tuned. Crayola Thoughts and Jelly Bean Creations.

2 PM Update.

NHC pulls the plus on GOM area.

Rain continues.

Rain will continue.

Doesn't need a name to rain.

Compare and contrast from earlier.

GOM area becomes the NWS problem.

Please continue reading.

The thoughts expressed this morning....

....do not change.

I'll add one thing.

If a cold front comes down strong enough to change the general daytime weather significantly before July 21st I'll be thrilled. I'm just doubtful and not very trusting of Early July Cold fronts after a few weeks or "feels like" temperatures being in the low 100s. I'm not very trusting of models, they have not been stellar lately. Hope springs eternal though .... though it's usually wiped away like sweat on the brow in Mid July.

Nice front.

Then it's gone.

Stationary.

Loop the loop for yourself below.

***

This official image of the morning was released by the NHC at 8 AM and will be updated at 2 PM. It doesn't really tell the story. The "Yellow X" basically over New Orleans today after they moved it West after placing it near St. Marks Florida yesterday. The concern was always for flooding in bayou regions that have been built over and developed into suburbia. Note to TWC the French Quarter does not flood (not even in Hurricane Katrina) because after trial and error the early settlers realized "hey this area doesn't flood" and they built THERE. Sadly generations down the road we are not that smart or we think we can just build better drains. How's that working out? Most days of the year it works just fine until you get a pissant small, swirl on the radar that looks like a microcane moving along the highway; it also sucks in a real hurricane like Katrina. Remember French Quarter = High Ground. Rest of the area is low land, the bottom of the bowl and as you move West you hit one bayou after another all the way into Texas until you finally hit the Buffalo Bayou that floods badly when it rains much.

The fact that TWC keeps showing the French Quarter Cam (advertiser revenue?) is beyond me as it's high and dry and no one is up at that hour in the morning except city workers. There is a real flooding problem going on as vehicular arteries flood fast when copious amounts of rain move in after minor No Name Yellow Swirls with Zero Percentages of Developing pound the area in the morning during Drive Time. Find a better cam or maybe go to a reporter in the area covering the weather.

If you want news fast go to Twitter. Many of you are on Twitter. Many of you are waiting for the Ye Olde AOL Message Boards to come back. I know it was fun while we had it. Most everyone has found their way to Twitter, unless they are posting pictures on Instagram or SnapChat. Twitter tells the story in real time way better than EDTV ever imagined. Personally I like Twitter better than Survivor. Real news from real people. Headlines and official press releases are great but nothing like really seeing where the problem is vs where the weather is not on a Weather Cam that leads people to Bourbon Street to spend their money while in New Orleans. It also looks like the Weather Cam by Sloppy Joes in Key West but I digress.

People go to Mike for Real News.

Breaking News.

Telling it like it is News.

Close up map of a beautiful city.

It is prone to flooding.

I love New Orleans.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_in_New_Orleans

Nuff said on that in particular but despite the zero percent chances and I was annoyed many mets played down the possibility of flooding from this very small system - - - it's worth noting there is flooding as I said there would be. And, satellite imagery shows it won't end soon as it's pulling up much tropical moisture and training it along very specific lines. Note the picture below that shows the concentration of orange to the South and Southwest of our Yellow Swirl that in the loop below you can see is being sucked into the general area. Water rescues are happening in a few places.

I guess it should have been a yellow-orange swirl.

Maybe they should expand the color guides.

Or like make up.

Matte, frosted and metallic.

Yellow X is such an underwhelming name.

Moving on to purple.

We definitely need more diversity from the NHC.

There are purple splotches popping up everywhere.

Apparently they don't read press releases.

Tropical possibilities.

Many close in.

Check out that Blue-Purple color combo in the Atlantic.

It has a very short window of opportunity.

No name but still purple fame.

Seriously press releases are good and academic reports are great, but what develops in real time from both minor tropical disturbances and major hurricanes going through rapid intensification over warm water close in is the real story. People love to pass #clickbait around during slow times when there is nothing happening. What will the 2018 Hurricane Season be like? We will be able to know for sure when it's over and people are complaining about how bad the Winter of 2018 is in December. Let's hope Macy's stays alive because personally I'm beginning to worry on the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade. Would Apple or Amazon take over sponsorship and would anyone care?

Bottom Line.

Tropics Tuesday.

All our current players in one spot.

New Orleans Flooding.

Upper Level Low E of Florida

Further East is our new yellow X

Bright yellow orange convection 20% in 5 Days

Keeping this simple.

1. The tropical disturbance now over New Orleans dumping huge amounts of rain. It's moving West and will take it's localized flood potential with it so keep watching and pay attention to breaking news and your Weather App do not wait for Momma to send you a message on WhatsApp that you are ignoring while on Snapchat.

https://www.nola.com/weather/index.ssf/2018/07/flash_flood_warning_new_orlean.html

2. The beautiful big Upper Level Low that looks like a Black Hurricane in reverse color mode is moving West with the flow. Strong high in place. We might need to watch it once it's in the Gulf of Mexico. Time will tell. The Dirty side of the ULL (every ULL has one) will keep the temperatures down in Florida where rain will be the main game.

3. The area behind the ULL with the bright yellow and orange color with bits of red thrown in is the area the NHC put up this morning at 8 AM that looks like a big Lemon Meringue Jelly Bean. I do not make things up. Note picture below. Read the discussion from the NHC first posted above. Note the word "interaction" is such a vague word. It leaves the door open for possibilities covered under the term "interaction" in my opinion. #could #unlikely #interaction = very vague terminology.

The shape of the "formation zone" is because it is generally forecast to stay off shore (get ready for it) because the cold front is going to pick it up and sweep it away. Personally I would LOVE a cold front that sweeps this heat wave out to sea but I have it on good authority that it's not happening any time soon and if it does it's a one day event before the front comes back. If that is so then it would tug at anything actually there and move it away a bit and then retrograde back a bit towards the coast. This is highly suggestive discussion above on long range development but I am thinking of going to Myrtle Beach sometime next week to cool off a bit :) and watch the waves .... play at Broadway on the Beach (or is it Boardwalk on the Beach?) and drink cool drinks at Margaritaville because according to the Grinch Who Stole the Hurricane Season AKA Phil Klotzbach we will have a mediocre season but as he reminds everyone it only takes one hurricane even in a quiet season to produce misery (I'm paraphrasing what he wrote ... check out the link below and read it for yourself) so.... If I was to read the hysteria online about the Hurricane Season I'd figure the only hurricane I'll see anytime soon in the Atlantic Basin is in a pretty tall glass.

Extra Credit Discussion.

Go back up there and look at the loop in motion. Note the blue and green arrows I drew show the differing wind flow. It's interesting. Keep watching.

BobbiStorm's Bottom Line:

Don't buy the current scenario that this will go out to sea if it develops. It could go out to sea but there is no lock there on the cold front scenario or any fast end to the this hot summer in the Carolinas.

Ps... If you are interested in buying someone a nice present for Christmas (around the time that the weak El Nino may be affecting our Winter) you might want to buy a child a box of Crayola Crayons. Stimulate the economy. Seems you can also use them to make awesome pictures of yellow orange sunsets or leaping lava in Hawaii!
