Oddly, I encountered worse street flooding when I lived in west
Tennessee than I ever have on the islands.

Last night John's best friend saw on the Weather Channel these big red
and orange blobs (resulting from Hurricane Joaquin) and insisted he call
to make sure I was okay. I appreciate the concern but (1) he'd just
talked with me that morning and everything was fine and, (2) the Weather
Channel images always make things look much worse than they are.

I do feel for the people who are experiencing bad flooding. I also wish
I could have sent some of my summer rain rain to drought-stricken areas
out west.
