2021 Hurricane Seeason
Jun 6^th, 2021 at 9:16am

NOAA predicts an active 2021 Hurricane season, though not as bad as last year's record breaker.
https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-predicts-another-active-atlantic-hurrica....

Here in New Jersey last year we had an unprecedented number of tropical storms. Usually one is a big deal here. Last year I think we got seven in a row. I lost count. This was actually a good thing because it saved us from a drought.
Isaias was the only one that actually got scary. For a few moments it looked like Armageddon outside. Afterward we had a few trees broken down and broken branches all over the place but it wasn't that bad. My yard and my neighbors' are very woodsy so anytime there's a lot of wind, falling trees are a big concern.

So long as Im not out in it I say bring on the rain, thunder and lightning. One of the side benefits of thunder especially is pushing my big wimp of a jack russell terrier under my blanket to hang out.

I wish I could. Your drought is nasty approaching scary. The most immediate effect will be an increase in food prices across the board for the whole country. If it continues millions may have to relocate. Hopefully it won't come to that. I would do a rain dance for you but the last (and only) time I did one it went very wrong.

Elsa rolls over New Jersey tonight. We're under a flash flood watch as is probably the rest of the east coast. This time of year a tropical storm can sometimes be beneficial, bringing much needed rain. Last year an unprecedented seven consecutive tropical storms saved us from a drought. As long as you don't wash my crops away, come on Elsa!

We got drenched by Elsa. It looks like we got about seven inches of rain. I'll know for sure shortly when I go outside and check the rain gauge. That's a lot of rain in one night for this area. We almost always need rain this time of year so Elsa was a good thing. There was some wind but it wasn't strong enough to worry about. Some local areas probably flooded. We're not prone to flooding here.

Edit: By my gauge we got four inches which is still a lot for one night around here.

Too quiet. This makes me very suspicious like when one of my Huskies is being quiet and good. Look for something big to happen in the next couple of weeks like and Andrew type hurricane buzzing across the Atlantic.

Though he's predicted to be a near miss any time a hurricane gets this close I keep a good eye on it.
