You may live in North America, or you may read blogs written by North American bloggers, or you may follow weather around the world. Whatever the case, many of you have probably heard about Hurricane-turned-Tropical Storm Debby which is moving up the eastern side of the United States as I write this.
The most dangerous feature of this particular storm is the amount of rainfall it is carrying. It is moving slowly, so the rain is causing flooding in many places. There has also been at least one tornado and there has been loss of life.
Amidst the worry and the danger and the destruction, here is something I hope will cheer you. It's a story of the good that is in people. I believe there is so much good in most people and often they just need an outlet for it.
If you don't have a Facebook account I think you can still access this reel just to watch it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to locate it on YouTube or any other format except Facebook. I hope you can view it.

Footnote: Debby was headed for Nova Scotia, set to arrive on Sunday, but the latest projection shows it going through New Brunswick and Quebec instead. The path could change again. Storms will do what storms will do.
WONDERFUL news. I do hope Debbie settles down.
ReplyDeleteEchoing EC with hopes it ends quickly.
ReplyDeleteSometimes adversity does bring out the best in people. I hope Debby steers clear of you, as you have had quite enough rough weather for a while.

Good news...I am seeing postings on FB of damage that friends have had....and over in Scotland we will get the tail end as usual in a while
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice story. I hope the hurricane weakens before it reaches Canada, well everywhere really.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic, heartwarming response.
ReplyDeleteEC: I do too, although it's not looking good for those in its path.
ReplyDeleteRiver: Me, too - we'll see how it goes.
Doug: Yes, although the worst six weeks of hurricane season here hasn't even started yet! Stay tuned :)
gz: It's amazing how far these storms reach! I hope your friends' damage can be repaired.
Andrew: There is always someone in the path who suffers, it seems.
jabblog: It makes me tear up every single time I watch it. (I have to stop watching it!)
What a beautiful story! I'm so glad, as we've been through storms and i remember what happened around here after Katrina.
ReplyDeleteApart from drought our area has been spared weather wise. Very lucky for us as the only way out of here is by ferry or plane. My heart goes out to all are coping with disaster. The video was heartwarming. We need to be exposed to the positive more often.
ReplyDeleteSo I clicked on "here" about an hour ago. I'm back now. I can't even remember what the first video was. But I have a video for a post tomorrow. So thanks for leading me down the YouTube rabbit hole.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that link, jenny_o. It is always good to get some positive news instead most of the awful stuff we get on a regular basis. Hope the storm continues to stay away from your area. Take care.
ReplyDeleteDebby sounds like a troublesome storm. Hopefully it's passed by you and hasn't caused too much damage.
ReplyDeletethis is worrying that storm is moving slowly towards your area as well dear Jenny !
ReplyDeletemy country faces such such rains and floods once in a while during monsoon and it is always heartbreaking how many people suffer because of this
i hope and pray that Debby settles down before reaching any further amen!
you are always in my thoughts my friend specially since you lost your hubby !
will be thinking of you with heart full of prayers and best wishes!
What a great video! I think I did hear about that story somewhere, and I agree with the video host that some of those dogs (hopefully) will now have forever homes! Who could give them up after taking them in?!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great video! Thank you for sharing it. Debby, don't bother my darling donkey. I'm still removing Debby from my back yard.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I love that story! and as Steve says, I hope some of the good bois and girls land on their feet.
ReplyDeleteHow are you faring? or maybe it's how did you fare?
Mimi: I remember, too. It was a nightmare for so many people - and animals. So, so horrible.
ReplyDeleteSusan: There seem to be more disasters all the time.
Mike: Happy to help, although I'm pretty sure that you didn't need it. lol
Mr. Shife: We've been lucky to avoid any problems, but as always that means somebody else is getting them . . .
Cherie: We've been lucky this time.
baili: Thank you for your good wishes, my friend. We have avoided this storm, luckily.
Steve: I'm hoping that, too.
Janie: I hope you get cleaned up soon.
kylie: I hope there are permanent homes for some of those furry ones, too. The storm has missed us by a huge distance, for which I am thankful.
Good news stories are the best. Hope you are well.
ReplyDeleteSeems like bad times make good people. Debbie is now luckily a thing of the ppast even if the traces will remain for a long time to come. I feel blessed living somewhere free of such monster storms.
ReplyDeleteDB Stewart: Slowly improving, thank you.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte: Yes, Debby is gone, and on her heels is the next hurricane, Ernesto!! Fortunately for our province, this one is expected to bypass us too.
