Back in 2016, when I accompanied my son, Tristan (right side of frame), to a college visit to Rutgers, we took a sidetrip to NYC on the way back to Memphis. Made the trip to #GroundZero on a mild January day, a trip that every American should make at least once in their lives.

No sounds except the rushing water over the falls. No words possible or needed, except perhaps #NeverAgain.

...500 PM CDT POSITION UPDATE
...FRANCINE MAKES LANDFALL IN SOUTHERN LOUISIANA

Francine has made landfall in southern Louisiana in the Parish of
Terrebonne, about 30 miles south-southwest of Morgan City, as a

A NOS station located on Eugene Island recently reported a peak gust of 105 mph (169 km/h). The minimum pressure measured at that location was 976 mb (28.82 inches).
