Weather Update- Hello, Lowell!
While everyone and their mother are worried about Hurricane Ike, I am experiencing my first Tropical Depression since moving to Mazatlan. Mazatlan rarely gets hurricanes. In fact 2 summers ago, Mazatlan got hit twice after we had already gone back to Illinois. Those were the first hurricane level storms in 25 years or something like that. So, I'm kind of looking forward to Lowell. He's just a little Tropical Depression, with less than 1% chance of becoming something deadly. We've already gotten some pretty exciting storms thanks to Lowell, and quite a bit of rain. I guess we're supposed to have 2 more very rainy days as Lowell passes to the north of us. Right now we're getting the first sunshine we've had in 3 days. Hopefully the towels I forgot to bring in from the clothesline Sunday will dry enough that I can take them inside before it rains again tonight.
All the rain has cooled the air, making this a far more enjoyable September than last year when I thought I was going to slowly shrivel like a sun-dried tomato. But even though the temperature is down to the low 80s, the humidity is nearly 90%, even with the sun. I'm pretty sure you could go about 3 weeks without drinking anything, just breathing.
Anyway, worry about Ike if you will, but I'm waiting for Lowell.
