What to Watch Today

  • Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
  • Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
  • Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.

TEA, hope your weather is calming down.
Guess ours is over, gusty winds coming in tonight
as a cold front passes. Will be quite chilly but back
in the 70’s and possibly 80 later in the week.
All aboard the weather roller coaster!

Kathy, if you peek in, be safe in these storms.
Your area already had a tornado warning right?
SIL’s workplace, people went into the building’s
basement. Glad schools are closed today here
and there. Happy grandson is home today.

Thank you ❤️ Yes there was a tornado warning but it was North of us near the university campus of the Charlotte 49ers. It’s 1:40 PM now and all watches and warnings have expired for Charlotte. We did get some heavy rain and strong winds but not enough to cause any damage (as best we can tell). I hope you remain safe. I noticed your tornado watch was extended until 8:00 PM.

DH Craig does sports announcing (as his second job) on the collegiate level (a variety of sports from Fall through Spring). His first priority is for the Queens Royals but he also announces for the Charlotte 49ers. We are so proud of Queens Men’s Basketball for winning the Division 1 Atlantic Sun (ASUN) Conference which moved the Royals on to March Madness in their first year of eligibility. Four years ago they were still Division 2.

Like the pattern! Still haven’t been able to find a rose
tea cup, only big mugs with silly sayings. :)
But we needed extra forks so did find a good set of those
at a thrift. Are you the same, always losing forks? They must
join the lost socks somewhere. 😀

Good morning, TEA! We are having bad weather today.
Storms with heavy rains and high winds. Tornadoes
are possible so the weather alert radio is in case we
lose power we’ll know what’s happening.
