"Like the ocean, the atmosphere also has waves. Large-scale
atmospheric waves form over Africa during the African summer monsoon
season, track east to west, and emerge over the Atlantic Ocean near
the Cape Verde Islands, where they often serve as the nucleus for a
powerful Cape Verdes-type hurricane. Well, the African Easterly Wave
Factory is exceptionally busy right now, and there are three very
impressive looking waves with plenty of spin lined up across the
continent.

Last week when I was at my son's new beach house, the sellers, realtor and
my son/DIL were all getting ready to head off to the attorney's office for
the closing. One of the remaining issues unresolved was confirmation
that flood insurance was in place. (it was resolved before they closed).

But, the sellers, probably concerned that there would be a delay in
closing, were telling my son that since 1954 there had been no flooding of
the area due to storms or storm surge. My son responded with, "well,
that's encouraging".

Me, with my big mouth, added, "That means it's long overdue".

Seller didn't appreciate my humor.

With all this global warming and rising seas, my home province could become
