alberto climbs up the food chain
Hurricane warnings have been posted for parts of the west coast of Florida; Tropical Storm Alberto has maximum sustained winds of 70mph.
Okay, first of all, WHOA, because when I fell asleep last night at 5:00, this fucker still had winds around 45mph, and it looked pretty poorly organized. This just goes to show you how little we really know about the weather, and it totally sums up exactly why I'm so fascinated with these storms -- because we'll never know, not ever, exactly how hurricanes form or what they are going to do. Incredible. Needless to say, I'm watching this one like a hawk. If you're in the path of the storm, get your shit together now, because this could be a minimal hurricane by the time it makes landfall. Alberto seems like a rainmaker, too (which is good for South Carolina at least, because we sure could use the rain when Alberto passes over us as a tropical depression in a few days), so be prepared for flooding.
In other news, I AM ALL CAUGHT UP WITH DOCTOR WHO. *dances around like a crazy person* And I've been writing porn all weekend, because everything about the last two episodes totally reinforces everything I believe about Ten/Rose, and I'm a giddy little schoolgirl in love with fandom today. I just am. :) I can't even coherently go over what happened in the last episode, because I'm too all a-squee, and there are too many ideas swimming 'round in my head for how all of this is going to fit into what I'm writing, and it's awesome and I missed this feeling and and and THE DOCTOR BELIEVES IN ROSE TYLER AND THEY ARE LEGENDS AND SHE KNOWS HE LOVES HER OMG. MEEP.
But I am NOT in love with work because the phones won't leave me alone, and all I wanna do is write and watch CNN because OMG TEN/ROSE and OMG HURRICANE.
Wow. Too much caffeine for me, clearly. *g*
