So, Hurricane Humberto managed to crawl up the East Coast of America, somehow careen off New York and still manage to run me and most of Ireland down like a duckling under an Aircraft carrier.
Ireland set wind and rain records that have stood for hundreds of years and let’s just say my little costal power walk was within a couple hundred feet of landfall. Note to self: with enough wind you CAN actually fly while wearing rainwear. My 7 year old self would love to have known this.
It was, well, moist. Nothing like standing on an ancient costal Druid fort looking across the expanse and seeing EXACTLY how Mother Nature plans to hand you your ass.
Oh, and I managed to stick my rental car into a recently formed river. Like a river that wasn’t there 15 minutes before.
But with five strong backs from young men from Seattle ( thanks to the Druid Fort Bros. And their “leave no fellow idiot American behind” attitude). My car was safely extracted, my vapors calmed, and I found a cottage with a fireplace to hunker down till things literally blew over.
