NOAA

Beyond phobias, I am also, currently, madly in love with Noah (ok, so as not to cause panic in the streets, it's NOAA -- the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration -- "Noah" to me 'cause he dealt with a lot of rain, if I remember correctly) and the strange science of weather predicting. You can visit Noah online and get up-to-the-minute weather "predictions" for your particular neck o' the woods, learn about "famous" weather catastrophies of the past, and be, on the whole, most annoyingly *smug* about knowing what's what in the wild and wooly world of weather.

How appropriate to devote an entire post to the glorious weather of May!
