An ever-so-slight change in the weather
We can tell when The Weather Channel presents its storm updates. Not because we're watching The Weather Channel; we're not. We can tell by our phone, which starts ringing and flashing up phone numbers from the 417 area code (our parents) and the 719 area code (Natalie's grandmother) and the 407 area code (our friends in Orlando) simultaneously.
"I just heard it was going to swerve south of you." Yeah, that's one possibility. It's making a very slight northeasterly turn, but the weather guys caution that's no reason for us to celebrate yet.
"Are you in Pinellas County?" No, Hillsborough.
"What's happening there?" Well, really, nothing. Yet.
The sky just took a turn for the dark a few minutes ago. A very slight, cool breeze has kicked up, in stark contrast to the total calm of the last seven hours.
TV guys say the storm is getting stronger. Tornado warnings are popping up; one was just issued this second for the county directly east of us. The phone ought to be ringing again soon. Feel free to call.
