    This is from poweroutages.us. 460,413 customers without power in LA - another 118,026 in Texas. These numbers are climbing. Peak wind 132 mph at Lake Charles LA before the weather instruments failed to report. Peak winds now below 100 mph as the storm moves north.

    Well, I've made another lap around the track. It was 45 years ago today that I made my first weathercast in Grand Rapids. Back then we had the state map and national map, covered with plexiglass. We entered a 2-day forecast in the vidifont. I made $175 a week - 6 day weeks.

    Happy Mother's Day to my mother, Louise. She will be 100 years old on July 12. She sang for the USO during WWII. She's older than UCLA and the Green Bay Packers. When she was born, Woodrow Wilson was President and Babe Ruth still played for the Boston Red Sox.

    Remembering my mother, Louise, on what would have been her 102nd birthday. She passed away in Dec. 2019 at the age of 100 1/2. In her 90s, she adopted this wonderful stray cat who got hit by a car and lost its tail. "Rosie" now lives with my youngest daughter in Traverse City.

    Wow! Look at the size of this ship that came down the Grand Haven (Michigan) Channel this afternoon! This is the Algoma Intrepid, one of the newest ships on the Great Lakes. At 650 feet long, it's more than twice the length of a football field! #miwx
