Well folks, that was more excitement than Bethesda needs! What a storm that was! Hope everyone is ok and that you managed to avoid any serious damage after the afternoon “weather event.” I am sure I am not the only one thinking that these major weather events are only going to increase, and get worse, as climate change tightens its grip in the years ahead.

And while that is a sobering thought and something we should all look to combat…..I did have a more light hearted weather thought this morning.

My understanding is that in New Orleans and other parts of the Southern storm corridor, when major storms approach, they have hurricane parties. And in New Orleans they tend to party with Hurricane cocktail drinks.

So – the question is – what should we come up with that is a Bethesda equivalent for these major weather events? Now, the tricky thing is that:

1. it needs to reflect the community

2. our weather events tend to be year round – from major snow storms to major thunderstorms etc.

What should our equivalent of a Hurricane Party/ Cocktail be?

Drop an email with your thoughts or leave a comment below – cheers!
