That’s how to start a morning
A good, cool morning to ya, Waco. Temperatures in the mid-60s to start this Thursday feels just great. I could get used to mornings like these.
We should have more sun than yesterday and top out at around 88 degrees. We reached only 84 for a high Wednesday; that’s 10 degrees lower than average. That north-northwest wind around 10 mph will be with us again today.
The 70 residential-care patients who arrived Sunday from Lake Charles, La., and stayed at the Waco Veterans Affairs Medical Center should be heading out of Waco about now for their trip back to their facility.
Officials with the Waco VA Medical Center plan to keep Building 91 ready throughout hurricane season for possible future evacuations. With the likelihood of more tropical storms and hurricanes this month, that sounds like a prudent move.
Speaking of Hurricane Ike and Tropical Storm Josephine and TS Hanna, check out this interactive Web site, stormpulse.com. I think it’s a sharply designed site for keeping up with those tropical storms, though as its disclaimer notes, it is not an official weather site.
Ike, by the way, went from Category 1 status to Category 4 in a six-hour span. That’s scary.
