Beryling Down on Detroit

For the record, the first word in the headline above is a pun of sorts. Things can 'barrel down' on us, just like Hurricane Beryl is barreling down on Detroit. The Local Beryl Tracker on my weather app assures me of this.

Look, we're not going to have anything like a hurricane in the D. That's simply nonsense. Yes, we'll have heavy rain (maybe; I do not, as you know, have much faith in the weather prognosticators) this Wednesday as the remnants (if that's what they really are) of what was Hurricane Beryl move through the area. But to in any way, shape, or form identify that as in any way, shape, or form part of a hurricane is hyperbole. Overwrought non-news.

The steady winds are expected to be nine miles per hour when the rain drops hit us. Oh, but the gusts will be up to twelve. Horrors. Git into the cellar, Maw, right quick. I expect the store shelves will be decimated after the rush to stock up Tuesday. 

Just more over hype in an overhyped world I guess.
