With the storm season springing to life, I find that I check my favorite weather site before I check my email. Weather Underground is a great weather site especially for tropical activity, as they call it. It's not a crazy political gang from the 70s, just a pun on the name. Excellent maps and blogs and when you live in Miami, you learn more about tropical weather systems than you ever thought you would.

Actually here in Miami, our tropical storms build community. Neighbors will help each other put up window coverings. Folks will check on their elderly residents. Of course, storm damage can bring out the worst in people as well. Price gouging, scamming contractors, plain old jerks seem to come around just in time of crisis. But Community isn't all peachy keen and rosy to say the least. It's just a knowledge of a group of people that were in it together. And Storms can make a county of 2.5 million people think alike. Smells like a miracle.
