Who would have thought? A hurricane in mid-November, albeit a mild one.  Although there are coastal hurricane watches in our area, they do not extend to New Orleans.
Still, our local TV meteorologists are saying that we will have severe storms tonight, extending through tomorrow and the storm should make landfall sometime tomorrow night near Mobile. Also, locally tides will be five to six feet above normal. Thank goodness, I am not in an area affected by tides.
Here in New Orleans, we can expect stormy weather and localized flooding in the usual spots over the next day or two. One of the usual spots is the only reasonable route from my work to my home (due to a freeway and railroad tracks between the two). Usually it is the first road closed around here. Hopefully I will be retired and back home before there is any flooding, and then I can just thumb my nose at my co-workers who will have to go many miles out of their way to get home tomorrow.

All I can come up with to indicate season change is the early sunsets and this scene yesterday, not much leaf changing here so I enjoy whatever is there, best guess is they are shooting a Macy's ad:

It's funny but most late summers, during the hot and HUMID days here in Nebraska, I get sort of a reverse SAD. I hibernate with the AC during that time and then fall hits and I'm ready to get out and about.
