Pic(s) Of The Day - 12.13.15 - A Wet Day In H-town

And when I say, "Wet" I mean WET!

However, that didn't stop me from going to CultureMap's Holiday Pop Up Shop. I did purchase a few things and I may or may not have enjoyed a Mimosa or two.

Later in the day, I decided to add some holiday decor to the interior of the crib.

Pic Of The Day - 09.01.15 - Stormy Weather

It's not a monsoon. It's not a tropical storm. It's much needed rain.

This was my view from the office of the storm clouds.

It rained. We went from a period of being deluged with rain to a dry period so we were due for a storm or two.

This was the view from the 4th floor of Legacy Community Health looking toward downtown as the storm approached.

It's an odd phenomenon with some of the people I work with. It rains and some people go into Chicken Little mode. Yes, I've been caught in my share of storms and flooded streets but I also try to remain calm. Maybe it's just me?

Guess what? It rained again on Monday. And there a tropical disturbance was brewing in The Gulf.

Blogging Tropical Storm Bill

So...there isn't much to report from The Calvinator's Crib. We've been here since last night when storm preparations for TS Bill began. Due to the concern of power outages and possible flooding, the elevators in the building were disabled at 8:00PM last night. That made for a difficult walk this morning for The Calvinator. He's not big on stairs and stairwells so four flights of stairs is not his cup of tea.

The problem with these storms is that it is difficult to predict their path and intensity. Houston is on the dirty side of TS Bill but so far the rain has been intermittent and bearable. However, that could change later in the day.

My office was closed today and this is definitely a case of better safe than sorry. This has also been a good dry run on getting prepared for a hurricane.

We may have been accused of overreacting but if you lived in Houston during TS Allison or Hurricane Ike, you'd understand why we are a bit gun shy.
And yes, TS Bill made landfall around 11:45AM around Matagorda Island. Now it is time to deal with the remnants which could include tornadoes.

This is the best meme I found about TS Bill.
I lifted it from Alan's Facebook page.

If anything significant happens with TS Bill, I'll do another post but otherwise, this may be all I have to say about TS Bill.

Pic Of The Day - 09.22.14 - Dali

We had a gully washer.  It came out of nowhere.  I was waiting for it let up and snapped this photo.  The water running on my windshield distorted all of the objects I was looking at and created this Dali-esque effect.

Or maybe I do?  Them are storm clouds.  Somewhere in the northern parts of the Greater Houston area a storm was brewing.  This was the view from the 4th floor of Legacy late in the afternoon.

Stormy Weather

It's wet here in H-town.  The forecast calls for 100% chance of rain tonight and tomorrow.

Somewhere out there is the downtown skyline.  This is the view from the 4th floor at Legacy Community Health Services-Montrose.

So now I'm humming

except in my mind it is the dance version.

Stay dry everybody!
