Until yesterday we have had lovely weather here in the Caribbean …

… but a tropical storm passing to the east of us has caused some surf, overcast and rain showers. The beaches were flying red flags, a warning not to swim since the waves were powerful enough to easily knock people over. I believe this storm is headed to Nova Scotia where it will drop a lot of rain.

The ocean so often looks tame and inviting, but it is a supremely powerful force on our planet that should be respected. I am strongly reminded that if we don’t respect our climate, our climate won’t respect us.
