Mother Nature's PMS

Although human females undergo this period of male armageddon once a month, and which usually lasts for about a week, Mother Nature is a special female in Miami. She undergoes PMS (short for "Pass Me the Shotgun") once a year, of which spans several months. I think today marks the onset.

This morning was a beautiful clear day, despite the dim-sum-steaming humidity which makes the city a "24-hour outdoor sauna". In a matter of one hour, the skies have turned consistently dark, and the lightning so frequent that the thunder makes a constant rumbling throughout the afternoon. It's much worse than the same time last year, and last year was pretty bad.

In 2004, it appeared that Father Nature left the toilet seat up, or started squeezing the toothpaste from the middle of the tube instead of the end, because Mother Nature snapped and hurled four (4!) hurricanes at us.

Now, the violent weather has either abated somewhat, or Mother Nature is busy loading the shotgun.
