Hello from Sheboygan

Howdy Dew from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Well, I have had a terrific time watching the towers go up to my northwest during this afternoon's ceremonies. I was, however, amused (frustrated would be a better word) when I got a text from Storm Chasing Mikey (please see link in the sidebar list...) saying that things were getting active in my neck of the woods... since he hadn't seen my blog, he didn't realize the classic Dewv@#d set-up he had just shared... 1" hail... wind damage reports right near my house...

10 N VALDOSTA LOWNDES GA PEA SIZE HAIL WITH ONE TRAFFIC LIGHT BLOWN DOWN. 5 REPORTS OF TREES DOWN WITH ONE TREE ON HOUSE. IN VICINITY OF SKIPPER BRIDGE ROAD. (TAE)

I wish I were kidding, but of course I am not, see for yourself by clicking here. Insanity. I am, of course, still just barely outside of the slight risk... So, in light of Ma Nature's sense of humor, let me cover the finer points of day one from this trip.

Bf was very sweet to offer me the window seat on both legs of the flight, and I, of course, too full advantage of that as we zigzagged through some powerful thunderstorm towers... very cool. At one point, just outside of Memphis, I had the rare opportunity to see a fire-induced convective tower. Of course, I got pics, and then, we arrived at Lake Michigan just as the sun was setting. How amazing! I could never grasp the size of the Great Lakes until I saw them. Enormous. Anyways, without further a-dew...Isn't that cool... who would think in Memphis???This is the fire tower from the ground in Memphis....and the view from the air. If you click on the image, you can see the base where the fire is and the smoke rising up forming the tower. Coolness, huh?Amazing, huh?

Things in Wisconsin are slightly different than I am used to... where I am used to Hurricane Evacuation Route signs, here they have Snow Routes... weird. All I have to say is that I am glad to be here in the summertime. The weather has been incredible!

Anyhow, it's time for us to find some place cool to eat.

Have a lovely night.
