Weather, yet again

The weather is the story around here, lately. It's been warmer than average. I've been able to have the windows open and sit outside on some of these days. Meanwhile, an unusual late-season hurricane is rolling into the Gulf of Mexico and headed for the U.S. Gulf Coast. How much power it has by the time it gets to the U.S. remains to be seen. The NHC expects the Hurricane (Ida) to be extratropical by the time it gets to the Gulf Coast, so the strength of the storm might be less than a typical hurricane. It makes for an interesting story, though, and one far less controversial than the events at Ft. Hood, TX.
