Bring a friend with a camera... We want pictures!
Is that a Banyon tree? It’s so cool!!
Lmao!! I would take some of that!
Am I missing the point here? There was a BIG HURRICANE that crossed over Mexico and then changed to heavy rain and wind, moving across Texas and heading to the east coast. I've watched several news stories and all they talk about is the rain falling on already flooded and rainy east coast. Well what about the poor folks in Mexico that just lived through a HURRICANE? Nothing at all is being reported about what happened to Mexico.

Unfortunately, that seems to be par for the course with news coverage of hurricanes in Mexico, even the really bad, devastating ones. I hate to say it, but I think the only reason Puerto Rico got the news coverage and attention they did last year is because they are a U.S. territory, and one that is close by geographically to the mainland U.S.
When I lived in the UK, I was far more cognizant of what was going on in the world. In the U.S. mainland, we are isolated, both by oceans and by hours of time zones in both directions.
Our neighbor to the south doesn't get much attention from the U.S. unless there's something considered a threat. I hate to say it, but that's the way it seems.
Sadly, that's true. When i worked in New Zealand the people there had a much broader knowledge of what's going on all over the world including the US. I'm sorry to say that American news media (and therefore Americans) are pretty egotistic: it's only "important" if it impacts America or Americans somehow.
Not many people see we are just part of a larger whole.
Good morning all! We are on our last day of warmth before a big high pressure system changes the winds so they come straight down from the Arctic and we get a cold snap.
It seems unlikely I’ll get snow here, but it is expected further north. Brrrrrrrr!

Going to be bright and sunny today, but cold. It’s 33 out now with frost....remnants of Hurricane Willa will pass through here tonight and drop a fee inches of rain through the weekend.
