Ok, so technically Hurricane Earl was a major fizzle and bust.

However, it did present prime opportunity for me to do some "how weather works" explaining to Bellerina.

The winds were decent, and there was precipitation at about 3 in the afternoon.

So of course Bellerina was banging on the door to the backyard yelling "Out, out".

I picked her up and we gazed out the window while I patiently explained to her that it was raining, which meant she would get wet if she went outside, and there were winds, and something called a "Category 1 Hurricane" was on its way to our humble sector of the country.

To a 15 month old that roughly translates as "Blah, blah, blah, wet", which is of course on the top 10 favorite things list for that age.

All I did was increase her desire to go outside, kind of like those idiots who walk out on the jetty's and piers when a storm is coming.
