Peeps,

An interesting summer for sure again. Blistering 1st week of July with hideous heat index temperatures that felt like Dante’s Inferno at times. With the humid summer we experienced we had below normal temperatures for bot July and August despite the cry of the warmicists that the summer was the hottest we seen. 1934 and 36 were absolutely tempests for heat. 23 states set their ALL TIME hottest temperatures back then. Map to show my point:

Imagine this happening today? The sky would be falling for sure, they’d be all over this. They being the GW’s.

June to August for the summer months had us normal to slightly above normal overall temperature wise.

Summer is wanning and so is September peeps, only 10 more days and we hit fall where the sun starts to set earlier and rise later. we have more darkness than sunlight and Vitamin D starts to rapidly drop off from our main source…Mr. Sun.

So Rocktober says nyet to sunlight. We lose 70 minutes from 10-1 to 10-31

Fall comes in Tuesday peeps and it will feel like  with temperature in the low 60’s, raw and misty, drizzle at times from an onshore flow. Great for chili; chicken, squash, and pumpkin soups and pasta va fagioli!!!

Astronomical Fall: Starts Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 8:05 p.m. EDT when the Sun crosses the celestial equator.

Coastal Kicks off Fall?

Peeps there are signs for this to occur this coming Friday through possibly Saturday or Sunday before pulling away. The coast has to pay attention for the inshore flow for a few days leading up will lead to minor coastal erosion and flooding. We also have a full moon on Sept 26th that will certainly effect the tides and if we have a costal storm come up from the South eastern Atlantic things could get interesting. Never say never with our ramping of extremish weather events. These are the times and get use to it and expect for greater and more severe events.

GFS says this very wild track as the storm gets pulled into the coast after two days of being off the coast. This would be a major concern for the coast peeps.

Keep the faith and this poem says it all about the Good Lord:

Inspiring Story: Meet Me In The Stairwell
Inspirational Christian Story on 911
You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on September 11,
2001? Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke-filled room with a man who called his wife to say
“Goodbye.” I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, “Honey, I am
not going to make it, but it is okay…I am ready to go.”
I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn’t coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. “I have been
knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!” I said. “Of course, I will show you the way
home – only believe in Me now.”
I was at the base of the building with the priest ministering to the injured and devastated
souls. I took him home to tend to his flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.
I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they
were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them
that their faith has saved them.
I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?
I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name – though not all know Me. Some
met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.
Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn’t hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; “Come to Me…this
way…take my hand.” Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there.
I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you
were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me?
September 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will
end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any
moment, you know you are “ready to go.”
I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.
God

 

Be well and keep those who we lost on this day and subsequently to illness from this in prayers and their families too.
