I believe it's at the top of Lake Champlain, if I'm not mistaken 🤔 Champ ... Lake Champlain Monster - lol LOL! I have been on a boat on Lake Champlain last year when we were in Burlington, VT. Very nice lake and city. They told us all about Champ! 😁 Just now, QuittingGirl said: LOL! I have been on a boat on Lake Champlain last year when we were in Burlington, VT. Very nice lake and city.

September 17, 20242 yr Author Still sunny; hot & humid today without much breese; in fact none! September 16th; go figure 🤷♂️
September 17, 20242 yr Today it's gonna be around 80 and humid but by the weekend, back into the low 70s which I love.😁
September 17, 20242 yr Drying out in central North Carolina (Raleigh area) as Potential Tropical Cyclone 8 made landfall on the coast of the Carolinas. The storm did not fully reach the criteria of being classsified as a named Tropical Storm but people at the beaches reported record rainfall totals and some said the flooding was worse than recent Hurricane Florence a few years ago. Lots of rain and some flooding in my area but it was bad about 2 hours away at the beaches.

That's some bad-ass flooding @johnny5 😱 Was wondering who puts all those sand bags along the shoreline that were in some photos? Is that up to the homeowners to buy and place them or is it some sort of Emergency Agency that would do that when a bad storm is expected? So sad to see water up so far along the wall of a house in one picture. You just know it's gonna be hugely expensive and take months if not a year or more to get it done cuz all the trades will be overloaded for a long time! And once that water gets up to the level of the engine of your car ... it's toast Between flooding and wildfire events these past few years, the insurance industry is buckling and beginning to just plain not offer certain coverages any longer - sad 😟
September 18, 20242 yr Wow, that is terrible @johnny5 I read about it quickly this morning. I have a cousin in Wilmington, I am going to get in touch with him to see how they are doing. The storms are getting worse lately with the flooding.

September 19, 20242 yr It's going up to 85 today in the Big Apple! I am not very happy about that. They are saying that starting on Sunday it's supposed to cool down into the lower 70s with low humidity. Not sure I believe them. Lately the weather people are also like politicians, a bunch of hot air....LOL!!!🤣 Edited September 19, 20242 yr by QuittingGirl

You can tell the season is changing and summer's now firmly in the rear view mirror! Almost time for a cup of hot soup or hot chocolate? Will soon be a great time to take a drive and watch nature getting ready for it's winter sleep.
September 25, 20242 yr We are having the same weather down here as well. Cloudy and chilly in the 60s. Is that scene near where you live @Reciprocity ? It's just beautiful! That is the foliage I want to see.
September 26, 20242 yr On the very edge of the future path of Hurricane Helene....actally, Raleigh isn't even in the cone path. But there are already tornado warnings out about half an hour from my house. Helene looks like a beast. I hope the folks in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and western North Carolina get through this as ok as posssible.

When I used to ride motorcycles, a bunch of us would go for a ride up in that region even fall whenever we got a really bice, warm day. So beautiful 😍 and on a bike, you seem even more connected to the surroundings.

That area and the whole Gulf coast is gonna take a beating! Then, Ga. & Carolinas are gonna get hammered with rain and potential torandos 😟 Terrible stuff!

We worked down in the Wall St. section of Manhattan and he used to drive one to work. One day on our lunch hour he took me for a ride. I think I only went on it because I knew that he couldn't ride faster than 1 mph on the narrow streets of lower Manhattan.....LOL!!🤣

I hope and pray that Helene blows over and does not cause too much havoc and distruction. Be safe. Gene
September 27, 20242 yr Author Was a perfect fall day yesterday with lots of sunshine & just a nice warm day without being too hot. Same for a good oart of the day today but then the clouds move in as the very outer edges of Helene start moving into the area.
