Mark, I hope you are doing OK.
It seems that NJ, NYC, and Long Island have been particularly hard hit - devastating damage esp. in NYC transit system! And the storm's not over yet . . . keeps on moving!
My prayers are with all that are being affected by Hurricane Sandy! Keep us posted as you are able!
Mrs. C 
We had a bit of a heat wave, with temps in the low hundreds (101-106 at the hottest), but we are enjoying the sudden drop in temperatures to the eighties!
Almost 6 AM and it appears the overnight low is 59 degrees.
In another couple of months, we may be mentioning rain . . . it sure has been a long time (not as long as some parts of Texas, but around here it's pretty safe to plan an outdoor event all summer with little fear of being rained out).
Keith, are you at risk for flooding if it keeps up?
Stay safe!
Chester 
Misty fog on the way to work.
At least it keeps the day a bit cooler.
Chester
I'm truly amazed at how nice the weather has been for the last several months. Don't remember when it rained last. Suspect we will be paying for it at some point.
Chester
Nice Summer day.
Chester
Nice days, though it's a bit warm (92) in the afternoon.
Chester
Cool nights, 58 degrees, with fog. After the fog burns off around 10:00 AM, warms up to almost 90 degrees. Clear and sunny.
Chester
Hondo,
If you ever fancy an education in rain I'm sure Keith or myself would be happy to oblige. We're both experts on the subject!
Would this include an all inclusive trip to Great Britain, at no cost? 
Chester
P.S. Another very nice day ahead of us.
Display MoreLet's see. We are in a weird pattern here in the state. We have the tropical storm on the gulf coast. It is really raining, but not here. We are west of the tropical eye and in the northern hemisphere, these storm rotate counterclockwise.
That means that the storm is bringing in moisture from the gulf to the east giving the panhandle of Florida around the Panama City area and areas east the rain, they do not want right now. We are talking about buckets of rain. An average of 10 plus inches per day. Flooding like you've never seen. And it is moving through parts of Georgia.
Now as the storm is rotating around going toward the west, it is bringing down the dry air on the other side of the eye and bringing us in Alabama dry conditions which means dry warm or hot air that is blowing as it goes south back into the gulf waters.
We are wedged in within a two hundred miles around us with the southeast part of Alabama with a high of 79, to the northwest side of this with a temperature of 105. We actually were 98 in our area with very windy conditions, and intermittent clouds around us all day. It is humid outside, and if you are in the shade it is cool except when the wind blows that dry hot air, but in the sun it is brutal.
There is a high pressure dome over us that is creating that heat wave, so when the tropical storm goes further east, we will see out temps over 100 very quickly. With no relief in sight for the next 10 days.
Tropical Strom Debby is moving very slowly and getting a lot of rain, but not in Alabama. Just as the storm crosses into the state is dissipates and well, no rain. If this storm move to the west which is not likely, then we will see rain ourselves.
Overall, just another southern summer day with unpredictable things all around.
CheersHondo
Sounds very complex, here, the suns shining.
Chester
Will y'all adopt me--please!!!!
I don't know, with the money you spend on DVD's, we both would be going to the poor house.
All kidding aside, we are getting close (5 more years) to our youngest turning 18, our oldest is 31, do the math, after over thirty years taking care of loved ones, Its almost time for a break.
Chester
P.S. I was up in San Francisco today, Wow, was it nice. Days like today make you realize why one may want to live there.
Lousy with HEAT and no rain or even clouds.
We've had a few hot days (close to 100º F on Saturday, but it's cooled down (maybe reached 80º F today). The weather man says the heat will start up again around Wednesday.
No rain, it must be the end of the world!
All I can say, I hope Heaven's weather is as nice as it's been around here for the last few weeks!
Chester
Great day, great day.
Chester
Beautiful Day!!!
Chester
Nice days, but windy !!!
Overcast, and a bit of sprinkles, not to bad, fortunately, working inside.
Chester
Had a great hog roast, beer tasting and listening to the ragtime band.
Think I could handle that, even if it was snowing!
Chester
Nice Spring day, a bit breezy at times. Twenty more days till Summer.
