While Hurricane Irene has made remarkably little impact on the Savannah weather, today was especially gray. The sky was filled with strange, fast-moving clouds and we experienced a couple short episodes of rain.

Tonight for dinner I opted to visit Savannah’s Six Pence Pub in honor of the weather that seemed strikingly similar to London. I’m thankful that we only had to cope with a little gloom and avoided the doom that’s worrying people to our north. I hope the rest of the eastern shore is able cope with whatever antics Irene has planned and enjoy a meal outdoors like I did tonight before too long.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, you can add Savannah to the list of places where people  felt today’s earthquake. I was sitting at my desk on the top floor of my office building when suddenly my coworker said, “Why is the building shaking?”I then realized that I, too, had noticed that Keys Hall was trembling but wasn’t immediately aware or willing to acknowledge the reality of the situation. Since there was also a earthquake in Colorado today, my officemates and I began wondering if these events are the beginning of the widely acknowledged (and contested) 2012 global meltdown. I’m also situated in the “cone” of Hurricane Irene. From what I’ve gathered from experienced Savannahians, if the hurricane hits North Carolina as predicted we will see torrential rain and flooding in Savannah. It’s going to be a blissful weekend, I’m sure. Maybe Lena will go halfsies on a boat with me? And now, let me leave you with a daily dose of banter from the office. I can’t pass up the opportunity to comment on my blog’s two favorite summer topics: the weather and the bugs.Coworker #1: In the bible, what comes next after hurricanes and earthquakes? Me: Maybe it’s the locusts? Coworker #1: We’re in the South. We can handle a bug invasion. Coworker #2: That’s a typical evening.
