Update!

  Dateline: Tuesday, August 4 – Impending doom?

The latest reports out of our weather tracking is that you should be prepared to be inundated with lots of rain and potential wind damage as Tropical storm Is..As..Isiah..Ez asses.  The newly named tropical storm will hit your area. I know we said that it will go further west a few days ago, but now it looks like you might get some stuff.  To our onsite report in Raleigh, North Carolina.

    Hey Bob, I know we expected a lot of flooding and damage, but all I can see is sunshine. You should probably show some of the footage from last night in Florida. 

    Thanks Ted, good idea. Here’s Jim standing in 2 feet of water last night. You can see how bad it was,  Whoa he almost got it by that branch. “They don’t pay me enough be a field reporter, even with the perks of a cool looking Lands End jacket.

    Hey Bob, this is Jane on Long Island. It looks like we got a whole 1/10 of an inch of rain.  No flooding to speak of. Some gusty winds though. Just went through a neighborhood in Suffolk. There are multiple trees down and I can see power lines loose all over the place. It’s a good thing they have PSEG here on the case to get things resolved quickly. Wait a minute here comes a resident, let me ask him how things are going. 

    So what’s happening in your neighborhood?

    “Are you nuts?” I’ve been trying to get on the phone with PSEG for 6 hours and when I finally get hold of customer service they take down all the information I have about a tree down and a power line down lying right across my driveway, repeat it all back to me and then ask me if I have power, which I texted them about on their app 6 hours ago. Great communication network!”

    “Thanks for the info.” So you see Bob all is well here on Long Island. Repair teams are working as efficiently as they did for Hurricane Sandy. It’s a good thing they spent all that money preparing themselves for a Hurricane.”

    “Thanks Jane, Keep us updated.” We..ll..br…ing..you..more..in..mat..on.

BEEP!!!!!!!

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!
