Only in Beaumont

Last night, I was watching Hurricane Ike updates on The Weather Channel. Finally, the Weather Nerd (WN) posted in Beaumont comes on the screen. The wind and rain were rough at this point. WN was doing the hurricane dance, barely holding onto his hood and his mike and doing his best to stay in front of the camera lens.

WN doggedly gives his update from in front of Crockett Street. Lights are still blazing in the background at this time.

Suddenly, there's a shape moving in the background. It moved quickly, so I thought, "Debris".

A few moments later, the shape passes through the picture again. It's rather large and ghostly white. I thought, "Hmmmm...that's weird."

Finally, the large, white shape dances through the picture, making pirouettes and leaping.

AHA! The Weather Channel got streaked!! TEEHEE!!

Give the WN credit: He didn't miss a lick!

Well, my dad found out that the power has come back on at his place...almost three weeks early! So, he is going to head back tomorrow...but we had a really fine visit.

I hope that you are able to return home soon and that there won't be any major damage when you do.

And thanks for stopping by!
