Our weather is going to be hot today but much better this coming week. Farewell to the suppressive heat and humidity. We’ll all be breathing easier and enjoying the weather more than this past week. It’s been brutal.

Watching Hurricane Ida barrel into Louisiana area this morning. My hearts go out to everyone there. They’ve had more than their share of horrendous weather. Can’t believe it’s going to be hitting on exactly the same day as Katrina did. Unbelievable. Hopefully everyone able to leave has gone and those sticking it out are as prepared as they can be.
