The weather on the Island of Newfoundland, Canada, can be a bit tricky sometimes.

Today, we are aware of a terrible low-pressure system coming to disrupt our lives, as noted on the Weather Network, linked below. I have high hopes that no homes will be lost with the storm surges coming with this one, and no one will be flooded out.

I know I will be right here at home, waiting for hubby to get home from work, and just ride it out. The high winds expected are a concern for me, as I have 7 trees out in the backyard that could get knocked over. I am crossing my fingers that nothing gets damaged. We have lots of candles and battery-operated lights in case the power goes out. I am ready for it.

To my Fellow Newfies, Stay Safe!
