In light of EBOLA on a plane with the destination Atlanta, here’s a blast from the past suggestion for some summer reading..

This is an amazing shot.. a ‘red rainbow’ appeared over Atlanta last week after a storm.. Beautiful. 

It looks eerily like the cover of UNDER THE DOME by Stephen King..

As NBC describes:

Hundreds of abandoned vehicles on I-65 in Birmingham, AL makes the interstate look like a parking lot.

Cold air.
Warm heart.

The story from the South is amazing today.. such goodness and compassion, with such chaos and confusion. 

As I wrote in an earlier post, hindsight is 20/20.. But when warnings of a dramatically awful weather system like this are being given, local and state officials should immediately act in the best interest of citizens—and children.

No need to make a scandal of this. But as weather patterns change and get extreme, we all will need to learn how to adapt.. 

This is a work in progress.

But we better start learning that the old times of ‘normal’ are over.. Extremes are here. 

Preparing is key.
