Mrs.J

Well it is official. Oldest Ms J let us know that she will be studying in Prague in the fall. As part of the AU Abroad program she will be attending one of the oldest film schools in Europe. And the rest of the family has decided that we will all go and pick her up in December. I have always wanted to see the Christmas Markets. And as her program end date is December 19th we are heading over for the Holidays.

Woke up to quite the light show from that one. Think it was around 3/4 am. I had a hunch that stuff up in PA last night might push south so we hauled the catio in before we went up last night. Glad I was correct as hauling that thing in that early in the am would not have been fun.

Just lost power at my house. Did not even try to reset.

.47 from this morning. Was sitting in the HS parking lot for pick up and the car was shaking from the gusts. The clouds have opened up and we have sun now.

Amazing! I got to see the one back in 1984 when I was in school. Cool that I got to see another. My AU kid got out of class and she said the entire quad was full of students watching .

Ok this is cool! Kid in DC who has a class right now just told me their “snack break” is at the fullest point. Huge viewing happening down on their quad.

Frederick Kid down in DC has clear skies.

Holy crap! Whole house just shook from this storm. Woke Mr. J up and the cat jumped off the bed.

.83 for the day. 2.54 for the event so far.

Just started raining over here again.

So the older Ms. J is in a scriptwriting class this semester. The next assignment is to write 3 pitches for PSA's. She was going to do Spay and Neuter your pets, but changed to Weather PSA's. We got into the discussion about how the NWS has changed up their wording recently so that the public takes it seriously. Will be interesting to see what she comes up with.

If this verifies my kid at AU will be geeking out!

My station has the event at 2.46 with .75 since midnight. Drove across the Monocacy River and it is well out of its banks. Ballenger Creek is behind my house and observed it from the 3rd story well out of its banks.

Getting some decent thunder and lightning over here this morning.

Latest readings with what I can see the backside coming in.
