I am happy to report that because we live on the southwest side of Houston we survived hurricane Rita relatively unscathed. It made me laugh a little bit because we did all the neccessary "preparations" beforehand and after it was all over we ended up with a little less than 1/2 an inch of rain and no wind damage. Don't get me wrong...I am very thankful because there are many, many people whose lives were ravaged and destroyed by hurricane Rita. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.
So what's the deal with Scotland you may be asking...I'm getting to it. When I went to Scotland on a "school trip" with my buddy Mili our counterparts over there took us to visit a place called Urqhardt Castle. While there the temperature was about 40 degrees and we had driving rain and strong, gusty winds. It made me think...if I survived that why was I worried about a hurricane. I'm almost glad I survived that, because now I have a new appreciation for our forecasting system and how crazy the weather in Scotland can be.
