BARNARD

Weather maps
BARNARD

Hi everyone!  Ron & Sage here!

Ron:  My Sister Peggy and my Parents are having to deal with the first real threat of a hurricane since they moved down to Pensacola.  Isaac is slowly moving across the gulf and may hit Pensacola.  Being up here we kind of felt left out and we had our own front heading toward us. 

Sage:  So we named it Barnard.

Ron: Barnard came in around mid afternoon.

Sage: Yes and when it started raining it came down in drops.  Big wet ones!

Ron;  I think the worst part came in around 8:00 because it really got dark.

Sage: And it stayed that way all night!  Tell them what happened when we went out at 10:00.

Ron:  I will!  Well we went out so Sage could make a deposit

Sage:  It had stopped raining. I think it was the eye of Barnard.

 Ron: Anyway a couple of yards away there was a big flash and loud bang.

Sage:  And the whole other side of our block was without power.

Sage:  I did what any big brave black lab would do.

Ron:  Yep she ran for the house and wanted back in.  What happened in Barnard's furry a large branch had fallen and taken out the power lines.

Sage:  I heard the storm surge on Lake George was indescribable.

Ron :  That's a good way of putting it.

Ron:  Now that Barnard has pretty much passed we are just waiting to see how Isaac pans out down south.  They have their windows covered and all the yard decorations moved inside.  Now they are waiting to see if they need to get out of there or can they stay and ride out the storm.  It all depends on what category the storm is going to be and where it is going to hit.  It looks as if right now it is going West of Pensacola.  We will keep you updated on any new info on Isaac or Barnard as we can!

Sage: Till next time!
