Superdome Suicide
Our local TV station just reported that an evacuee at the Superdome
committed suicide by jumping from the rafters. How horrible! Has anyone
else heard anything about this?

The Hawker Hurricane was a vital British fighter during World War II, renowned for its significant contribution to the Battle of Britain. Its robust design and powerful armament made it a crucial asset in protecting the skies from enemy forces.

Taken in 2011.
In August 1954, my mother, younger brother, and I (age 13) stayed in this cottage in Dennisport, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. The cottage, which had that porch but no deck then, overlooked the beach from atop a sandy cliff about ten or fifteen feet (3 or 4.5 m) high. We woke up one morning with Hurricane Carol upon us -- a hurricane we didn't know was coming because weather forecasting was a lot less urgent then than now.
Getting off the Cape was impossible -- hurricane-force winds had shut down the two bridges over the Cape Cod Canal, the only ways out -- so we were evacuated to a National Guard armory a mile or two inland. The cottage survived, but the cliff in front of it and half the front yard were largely washed away. (The cliff was later replaced by a stone-and-concrete wall.)
The front of the sea-facing cottage was thickly coated with salt, sand, and seaweed. So was the lock in the only door. After we managed to get the door unlocked, we started to clean the exterior with a hose, a shovel, and a broom. When the owners showed up a couple of days later, they were so impressed with our efforts that they let us stay on for the Labor Day weekend -- free.

Orkaan Irma hield in 2017 flink huis op Sint Maarten, alsmede in het Franse deel Saint-Martin. Er vielen veel slachtoffers en de schade was enorm. In het Nederlandse deel is veel in de jaren erna weer opgebouwd en opgeknapt, maar in het Franse deel is de nasleep van de orkaan nog altijd zichtbaar in het straatbeeld. Ook veel gebouwen zijn nog verlaten.

Hurricane Irma had a major impact on Sint Maarten in 2017, as well as in the French part Saint-Martin. There were many victims and the damage was enormous. In the Dutch part, much has been rebuilt and renovated in the years that followed, but in the French part, the aftermath of the hurricane is still visible in the streets. Many buildings are also still abandoned.

Sliabh Liag Cliffs, Bunglas, Teelin, County Donegal, Ireland
I recently captured this photo from the lesser seen northern end of the Slieve League ridge, looking southwards upon them from a sea angle perspective. At almost 2000 ft high these magnificent cliffs are amongst the highest sea cliffs in Europe. They stand almost three times higher than the more famous ‘Cliffs of Moher’ in County Clare. Remarkably there are remains of an early Christian monastic site along the slopes and on top of these cliffs.
These remains consist of a stone chapel and some beehive huts. Even older stone tools and remains were uncovered on these cliffs, which suggests that it was a site of ancient worship long before the arrival of Christianity.
I have hiked to the top of this ridge many times before and it always amazes me how these ancient monks managed to carry, build and live up there all year round. Especially during the harsh cold and very windy conditions of winter. For food they likely had to scale all the way down to the sea to catch fish and harvest crops etc then climb all the way back up again, all on barefoot on a regular basis. Credit to them all

A stormy Talisker Bay on Skye. The day was as grey as this looks with the exception of this buoy and what at first I thought was a bollard but is actually a gauntlet. Still, it looked wild and beautiful and Talisker waterfall was in full flow also.
