So for a short time it looked like Texas could be hit by two hurricanes at the same time but Marco is evaporating...meanwhile Laura is rapidly increasing in strength. A Cat 3 or 4 could hit south east Texas and southern Louisiana later this week.

Cat-4 Laura due to wreck destruction in Louisiana and Texas tomorrow. The only hopeful news is that it should move through quickly, but the storm swell will be pretty brutal.

My cousin lives in Welsh, LA. Her family just evacuated to the east, and a little bit further north. Her house - a 100-year-old farmhouse - isn't expected to survive. They packed what they could, but they're anticipating losing everything.

I call uncle, 2020. :(
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Surprise September heat!

Warmer in most of France than most of Portugal, including but not  limited to Bragança.  :hmm:

Just move up to the coast - better there than most of Europe.

Leaves cover the ground and roads of the forest, wind and rain showers all herald Autumn's arrival.  :bowler:

We have been getting chilly autumn weather here recenty :wub:

Very excited. The Texas and Shumard Oaks will all be red in a few weeks. The birds will be headed off to South America. Love it. Even weak sauce Texas Autumn is pretty great, especially after so many months of brutal heat.

Yes. It's the start of the good bit of autumn. Leaves. Ginger. Bonfires (probably not this year :(). Layers season. Richer food :mmm:

Here Autumn is usually days of about 73f/23c with morning crisper at 50f/10c.

Until the rainy season (who knows this year), it will stay like this.  Once it rains everything gets green seemingly overnight, it cools down a bit, and it seems dark all the time - even though most days still have sun.

Compared to -40 in Laramie, it is rather nice here in Autumn/Winter.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
