I'm Teaming Up With My Sister To Bring You The Latest!

Hey bloggers. Just checking in with you all as I have some extra time. We do have a little weather to talk about this morning however nothing much or anything to get into real weather ready mode lol. But we should still have a little fun! Just take a look at this image I have put together for you all below. This pretty much tells the story.

You can see we have a slim change for some light drizzle or light rain early this morning. So if your heading out to school or work you may see a little bit of what's in this image above. The good news is it is only a 20% chance or less. So even if this falls as freezing drizzle it won't add up to anything and shouldn't be a big problem. And that is GREAT news for everyone. This is all forming off this small cold front. We have been seeing temperatures in the upper 30s however yesterday we hit a high of 43.7 degrees!! WOW that felt like a heat wave! lol :) And we could see more of this kind of temperatures over the next day or so. This cold front won't cool us off to much. However after the weekend we can look for temperatures to try and drop back into the low 30s as our highs. I know my sister will be happy to hear that as well as I'am. We go crazy over the cold weather! ;)

Quick Cast........................................

Today we will look for some light morning drizzle. This is only around a 15% to 20% chance and I don't look for much at all. We will then try and become more mostly cloudy to partly cloudy as the day continues. Highs will be in the upper 30s to low 40s once again. With lows falling to the upper 20s to low 30s. Winds will be light once again between 2 and 5 mph.

Saturday the start of the weekend and also the day the Colts play!! We will see some nice partly cloudy skies over the WLFI viewing area. Highs will be in the low 40s to middle 40s. With lows falling in the upper 20s to low 30s. Wind swill be light between 3 and 5 mph. Just a nice start to the weekend!

As you can see things are looking pretty good at this time weather - wise! However in other parts of the world things are totally different! Yes, you can bet I'm talking about Haiti. This major earthquake took these poor people by surprise! This is a scary event without a doubt! This earthquake was a 7.0 on the scale's! WOW. You all remember that small earthquake that we had last year? Well, that's nothing as to what they have gone through! I pray for those people! God Bless..........

Now my sister CJ, has always been into big weather events such as this! So she has done her research and I have asked her to come on here and say a little about it. I will ask a few questions and she will answer. Let's get to it below.

What makes this 7.0 earthquake stand out from say an 8.0 or a 9.0 in other areas?

The fact that the buildings weren't built to withstand an earthquake like in California. And that this earthquake was only 6 miles below the surface as opposed to one that is 200 miles below the surface. The difference is that with one 200 miles below it would not have been as damaging because of cushioning, with this one being only 6 miles it didn't have as much so it caused more damage.

Where did this earthquake originate from, and how long did it last?

Around Port-Au-Prince, and I believe it lasted for around 35 seconds.

What are Americans and others doing to help the people of Haiti?

We are sending the supplies that are needed at this moment along with the U.K, like food, water and medical. We are also sending troops to help with search and recovery. We are also sending in the machinery needed to move rubble, on Saturday there will be a ship sent with a built in hospital and burn unit along with much more. Scotland has also sent a K9 unit to help find victims that are still trapped.

Your thoughts on this terrifying event.

It is a very devastating blow to Haiti which had very little to work with before hand. I mean they were still trying to recover from three hurricanes that slammed into them in 2008, these people have nothing left, there whole country has pretty much been destroyed, I couldn't even imagine being there in their position now still felling the earth shake because of aftershocks that are 5.0 and a little above. Haiti was a very poor country to begin with so rebuilding could be a problem even with the support they are receiving. Haiti was much like any other country before any of this happened just trying to take one day at a time and now their world has been turned upside down in 35 seconds, so you can imagine how scared and terrified they must be.
My thoughts, prayers and heart go out to them.

I want to thank my Sister CJ, for coming on here and giving us her thoughts on this situation. I will have to have her team up with JIWB more often! ;) I do pray for those people and wish them a fast recovery! I want everyone here to pray for them. This has been a huge event and they need all the help they can get!

Thank You!
