The Bard said it best in his play "Twelfth Night"
"If music be the food of love, play on"
Let's skew his meaning a bit and see just where the love of food and the love of music takes us.

You Know You're From Alabama When . . .
(blue sky view from my front porch)
. . . The State is closed on account of bad weather!
Not much happened down my way today, thank goodness! School was closed Monday though due to that strong line of storms coming in from LA where it was really bad. We fared well. No problems.
Wow. I can remember reading an English book in which outdoor festivities were being arranged. One of the characters asked 'What happens if it rains?'. The response was 'We get wet'. Mind you, after Cyclone Debbie hit, quite a number of things are still closed on this side of the world. And some may not re-open for months.
We have tornados and had one several years ago that killed hundreds of people, so I really don't scoff at bad weather. I understand closing the schools because it was supposed to be worse than it was right when school would be starting, but just about everything closed.
Very loud thunder awoke me about 6 am, hung around with lightning and rain for about 20 minutes and nothing has happened since except for my hair blowing around late this afternoon. I am just north of Anne and way north of Lorraine.
We had about 6 inches of rain during the early morning, then nothing until our flight was supposed to take off, then major thunderstorm and hail, then cancelled flight. (bummer)
That weather certainly doesn't look very threatening, but like you say, it can turn on a dime and people can and do get hurt/killed. Better to be safe than sorry I guess. Anna
Even a smallish storm can pretty quickly cause big problems but I find it hard to i magine closing an entire state! I hope you continue to escape drama
Hey y'all thanks for leaving a comment. They are much appreciated. I read them all and do my best to respond to them, except for trolls or spam and I delete those suckers forever.
I assume this is anticipated bad weather?
ReplyDeleteHard rain and some thunderstorms but no high winds like they expected.

DeleteSounds like a good reason to stay home!
ReplyDeleteI guess it was but I was trying to fly out of town which didn't work

ReplyDeleteThe thunderstorm was bad but it passed quickly here.
DeleteMy nephew goes to school in Georgia and he said the college was in lock down and no classes, and he enjoyed a beautiful day.

DeleteLove.
ReplyDeleteIt's just the way Alabama rolls I guess

ReplyDeleteYes it can, Things here change quickly so sometimes the powers that be react too quickly.
DeleteIs it because of the tornadoes I've been hearing about? Obviously not in your area!
ReplyDeleteThey were worried about severe tornados, but only a couple of small ones were around.

The storms passed with minor damage, but it did knock Atlanta's airport out for 2 days and kinda screwed up our travel plans
DeleteWow. Stay safe. Never dealt with tornado territory myself, but I grew up with Hurricanes and those are definitely fun to deal with.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest the topography of the land pretty much keeps them away from my house.
