Seasons Greetings [Island Life] — Christen @ 4:16 am

Not that kind of seasons greetings, we’re still 7 months away from snow, caroles, decorations and gift giving… I’m talking about a different type of season!

Hurricane Season is officially here! It started May 15th and lasts until November 30th!

It’s been hot, with dark clouds and rain everyday for the past week or
so. It’s a strange type of storm, too. It blows in and out quickly,
but the clouds hang really low and don’t blow away. It’s pretty
amazing to watch from our porch because you can literally see the wave
of rain moving across the water as the wind blows it. Here is picture
I shot the other day.

This one was after the sun was breaking through. You can’t tell
really well, but there was a big rainbow that was diving straight into
the water out front.
Here are the names chosen for any storms/hurricanes that occur this season:

Alvin
Barbara
Cosme
Dalila
Erick
Flossie
Gil
Henriette
Ivo
Juliette
Kiko
Lorena
Manuel
Narda
Octave
Priscilla
Raymond
Sonia
Tico
Velma
Wallis
Xina
York
Zelda

Where do they come up with these names? That’d be a cake job,wouldn’t it? Maybe in my next lifetime I will be a hurricane namer oreven better, a nailpolish namer…. Anyways, we’re hoping not to meet any of these lovely folks! Wish us luck…

  1. That’s funny. I used to joke that I was a writer….of fortune cookies:). I get annoyed because they hardly ever tell you your fortune. They just tell you something like “Everyone likes you”, or something stupid like that. Whoever writes them should be fired.
