Tropical storm Chris is expected to intensify into hurricane status in the next 24 hours and then move northeast away from the U.S. coast causing no harm to the U.S.
That means it could be taking aim at us - the operative word is "could"
However, "if the good Lord is willin' and the creeks don't rise" it should stay just far enough offshore (fingers crossed) to only give us some wind and rain - along with some really heavy surf. This is what the Canadian weather guru's are predicting at this point.
I'm not near the coast so higher than normal tides and waves won't bother me, but shoreline damage is what usually happens to those living there and who make their living off the sea or use the ocean for recreation.
Two years ago I had the remaining two maple trees removed from my city property. They were 50+ years old and very large - and beautiful - really beautiful trees. It pained me to have them taken down. Even the company that removed them felt bad about doing it, but they were too close to my house and the neighbours on either side so there was no choice considering the chances these days of more hurricanes.
The risk was too high that they might come crashing down and smash into our houses. It may have never happened, but a decision had to be made and I'm glad I did it - and so are the neighbours
.
I don't miss them now and won't be planting new trees.
