Wednesday/July/17/2024

Welcome: Good afternoon. You all won't believe what I am going to tell you. After communicating with a very knowledgeable professional and doing some research, I believe that last night a small tornado formed right near my house! My parents and I were outside when we saw a small thing spin up, likely less than half a mile away, roughly to the East. It came right after the hail and rain. These are usually indications to a tornado. Luckily, no damage, just an amazing experience. Stay safe today...

Tuesday/July/16/2024

Welcome: Good afternoon. Some days I don't know what to write in this intro. Other days I have too much to say. Today I am finishing up another book on my family's history. I write in my free time and research too. I have been researching for a little over two years now. For me, the interest is in preserving my ancestors and their legacies. In a way, it is a never ending hobby. The common factor between both the weather and genealogy, is you have to do much research, to make sure what you are putting out is correct. My top trait is curiosity...

Welcome: Good morning. Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible the next three days. It always feels like we never get the severe weather.

Saturday/July/13/2024

Welcome: Good morning. The rain got really heavy at my house late last night. It did not last long. However, I was still amazed by its strength. Today we will have a good amount of sun, with clouds mixing in at times. My dad's tomato plant continues to grow. They seem to be smaller tomatoes, but there are many. My dad also planted strawberries and raspberries. Interestingly enough, further down the fence, where he does not do gardening, he actually found some type of berries. We speculate some of his plants passed their seeds all the way out there. My dog loves to eat the raspberries...

Friday/July/12/2024

Welcome: Good morning. I had a really good burrito last night. I know it has nothing to do with the weather. I am not even going to try to make an analogy of it. It was just an excellent burrito. I had it with cheese, refried beans, rice, fish, pic de gallo, guacamole, tomato, onion, and I believe a spicy sauce as well. Alright, enough food talk, let's do the weather...

Thursday/July/11/2024

Welcome: Good afternoon. The heaviest of rains stayed to the North and the West. I would have liked to hear the thunder, but in the bigger picture, it is always better to have the dangerous weather stay away. It gives me split thoughts while I run Berkshire Weather. I want to hope for the worst, as the unpredictable weather gives me a thrill, yet I want to also hope that none of you get hurt. The one form of extreme weather that I dislike is, this exhausting heat and humidity we have had. Hopefully, that clears up...

Monday/July/8/2024

Welcome: Good afternoon. Yesterday was a truly spectacular day for my family. I was able to unite a side of the family that never before would come together on such a scale. My cousin Bob had the reunion at his house, so I thank him and his wife very much. I was communications director, pulling everyone together. Special thanks goes out to my cousin Jennifer, cousin Jeff, and to my father for supporting me and encouraging me. I got to meet my 5th cousin, that means we share a set of great-great-great grandparents. I also met a 2nd cousin that I did not meet before. It was unforgettable, and possibly my favorite family gathering I have ever been to...
