Andrea Passes By

Tropical Storm Andrea passed near by today.  Lots of heavy rain this morning and strong, gusty winds this evening.

Halo before the Storm

A Halo around the sun or moon can be a precursor to stormy weather.  High cirrus clouds, usully above 20,000 feet, can preceed a storm.  The ice crystals in the clouds refract the light from, in this case the sun, and form the halo.  I saw this halo on Thursday, around lunchtime, a few hours before Tropical Storm Andrea arrived in the Outer Banks.

Sunset on the Sound

Duck NC sunset on Saturday night.  A great way to start the week...
