Walk [December]
Bham AL USA
December 2025
Had a plan. Set aside yesterday to type up today’s post. Easy peasey. Instead, spent the day obsessively reloading weather maps to follow hurricane Isaias. Also hurricanes Rachel & Simon in the Pacific.
From a map earlier in the week, it looks as if Simon split off from Rachel. They can do that? Can’t find an explanation online. The sites are busy with warnings and forecasts, as one would expect.
AccuWeather: Isaias breaks 121-year record as the Atlantic’s latest first hurricane, Speck & Lada, Oct 8/9, 2026.
Wiki: List of storms named Isaias, 9 Oct 2026.
