Look what Jack did to this poor kiteboarder down here back on November 29th:

Jack's still blowing like crazy here today, but he's getting a bit overwhelmed by the torrential downpour and flash-flooding we're experiencing.  Alma, perhaps?

Jack's been raging around outside here quite often lately. And I've figured the constant downpour accompanying him had to beJack's tears.  :'( But I'm *so* with you in finding some other explanation for it. Constant cold rain for weeks and months on end is depressing enough without relating it directy to sorrowful Jack.....

Nearly one year down the road, and Jack is definitely here tonight. We've got a full storm going at the moment, it's a little frightening and the first reports of unusual wave heights, power outages and trees falling can be seen on the net.

But I still have to smile once I relate the wind to Jack. Some things never change.  :)

Hi Mikaela,

Thanks for reviving this really lovely old thread.  :)

Take care Bud! I certainly hope the storm doesn't get too dramatic. :-\ 

Yes, maybe it's good to think of it as Jack just really missing Ennis tonight... Or maybe he's simply paying you a visit and wants to get your attention.

Mikaela, I was reading in the news about the high, strong waves happening for you and Britain, and the Netherlands.  Thinking of you...

Thank you, guys.  :) Luckily the storm passed without many incidents here where I live. We're back to the normal by now, cold rain and sleet and the occasional gale.  ::)  I seriously have to echo Jack now: Why is it we're always in the friggin' cold? I'd like to go to Mexico, too...

Brrrr.....  *turns up heat in room*

This'll sound crazy as hell, but oh, well...

After witnessing three hurricanes in less than as many years, one the eye of which passed directly over my town, wind was not my favorite thing.  It kinda freaked me out, in fact, when I used to quite enjoy it.  Relating it to Jack comforts me, too.  We haven't had hurricane force ones here since 2005, thank goodness, but we did have a bunch of really gusty days (up to 35) strung together a couple weeks ago.  I loved lying in bed at night and listening to it howl - no, roar - outside.  I figured Jack was tired of being in the friggin' cold and hanging out in Florida for a spell.
