Weather Radar

As a kid, I was fascinated by the weather & read about fronts & air pressure & the rest. I got my mother to buy me a cheap barometer. Now, with a couple of mouse clicks, I have better information about the weather than meteorologists had only a couple of decades ago. It has been hot here today, with thunderstorms predicted. Amazingly, I have been able to watch on my computer screen as a line of storms gathered strength west of Lake Ontario this morning & then moved steadily east. My window is open & I can just now hear the first rumbles of thunder.

    Tonight I learned there is one thing better than a strong thunderstorm that blows away the heat the humidity. We were at a hospital function while the storm front came through. They hired a band from hell. I mean these guys were terrible, and they played the worst music imaginable. With a loud crack of lightening the power went. Silence prevailed. There was nothing to do but pack up and go home. A blessing.

    Whenever I read or hear about people talking about the weather I can’t help but remember Christ take on the weather-speculators of his time.

    Now, they have become very accurate with their data about the weather, Christ must be shaking his head and smiling. :-)

    Chris, Sounds like a divine intervention to me. I always figured Zeus for a musical philistine but maybe I was being unfair.

    And did Jesus really comment on the weather? I know he quelled a storm.
