...^^^ yeah, I went through quite a few while I was in central Fla...but none of them were very bad...big difference in the wind between the coast and only 50-60 miles inland.
"You don't need a Weatherman to know which way the wind blows" (Bob Dylan) I've never seen as bad of Weather reporting as here in the Mojave. They say its gonna' rain, and it won't. They say sunny skies, and it pours. One Winter, I rode my Motorcyle to work, with reports saying slight chance of showers. Not a sprinkle at 5 am on the way to work. At 8 am, it began to snow, by 12 Noon, there was a foot of snow on the ground with more to come. I got a ride home (28 miles) with my buddy in his 4WD; as my bike was invisibly coated with snow. the kicker is, on the drive home, we had the NWS on the radio, while the repeating forecast, said: "Slight chance of Showers today"......fkng idiots.
...lol ^^^...kinda like when they say "partly cloudy"....isn't that the same as saying "partly sunny"?
I think I was 10 when I learned that a night sky with no stars meant a pretty good chance of rain & that a night sky filled with stars meant no rain. These clowns get paid a fortune for basically guessing.
Sandy was a nightmare! Don't want to see the likes of that anywhere. We are hoping it goes out into the Atlantic.
One can't even see stars in Los Angeles, only Tinsel Town Stars. L.A. literally gives off so much light in the night sky, like Vegas, for a good 60 or more miles, one cannot see stars, unless they go atop to Mount Wilson Observatory, or Angeles Crest, the San Gabriel Mt crestline at 10,000 feet. There one can not only see stars, but Meteors, in multiple changing colors, at times one can even hear them popping, literally.
I worked in Hawthorne, El Segundo, and Burbank for 6 months, (I hated commuting on those damned Freeways). I was standing on a Work Platform watching LAX arriving traffic, as the Hangar Windows were open. The day sky is pure brown or gray for approximately 30 miles around LAX. I asked a Young Man, is the sky always this polluted, do you ever see a blue sky down here. Answer: "I've never been out of L.A. to see a blue sky." What a pity......
