The Story of the Day
I don't usually pay to much attention to the weather forecast in London, but when Michael Fish tells me there is a big storm coming, I listen. For those of you who don't remember, Michael Fish is the most beloved weather man anywhere on the planet, except perhaps for the naked ones who give out the freezing temperatures in Siberia. His infamous don't worry about it comments in 1987, when Britain got slammed with the worst storm in living memory would have crushed lesser careers, like 300 year old oak trees uprooted and deposited on unsuspecting cars, then dumped on the scrap heap, never to be touched for years. He weathered that storm, no pun intended and he set about ensuring he would never be that wrong again. He has my admiration, one for being honest about his attitude, but also for the way he went about gathering better information. The tools are in place for warnings that by in large are pretty accurate now. I am writing this tonight because I don't know if we will have power tomorrow or if the internet will be up, I did fish out the flashlights, again no pun intended, just in case. Weather knows no favorites, after many years in the Carolinas, no more heroes are needed, those who will not move to safer ground, have found themselves swept out to sea. Those who played with the path of a tornado have found themselves spun around and deposited in the next county. It's only for one night so give Michael Fish the courtesy of paying attention and batten down the hatches. Oh by the way I might need a ride tomorrow if my car gets crushed.........
