As Mart can attest, down here in Texas they get so big they can be classified as a US State sometimes with all the debris/size.

But, No matter what the size...I pray for anyone affected by them!

The Tail of Hurricane Leslie has arrived,big style....the west coast is the worse affected with the Skye bridge closed and ferry sailings disrupted...here its raining cats & dogs...and its baltic..and the wind is howling...i,ve fired up the woodburner....and we,re sitting toasty....i,ll probably end up with corned dug legs....with sitting too close...Avril keeps telling me..."any closer and you,d be as well sitting on top of the bloody thing"...braw!....

It's cold there already? There is still warm here. Actually, it's a perfect time of year. Not hot and not to cold, just right! I hate rain. I'd rather have snow. Snuggle next to Avril. Body heat will keep you warm.

Good lord wullie! I hope you guys don't get swamped like you were over there a couple months ago (or was it less?) I know it was just before my son arrived in Leeds and there was no access north at the time with all the flooding.

To give you a bit of a chuckle, this is from our daily newspaper. A fine example of us Maritimers' ability to not only laugh at ourselves but also be able to make light of a not so 'light' situation.  A little tweek at Truro's calamity.
