Tropical Storm Danny Starts To Pick Up

While it's a beautiful, almost crisp morning, it seems to confirm what we suspected—it's summer's last hurrah because Tropical Storm Danny—or at least its effects— is headed our way. The American Red Cross has already issued a hurricane alert to Long Island—apparently Danny could become a Category 1 hurricane. Of course, Newsday notes, "Forecasters warn storm-tracking paths are unpredictable. The storm is expected to arrive about 100 miles east of Montauk Point by Saturday night, but the margin of error is 150 miles east or west of that, said meteorologist David Wally at the National Weather Service in Upton." Today's high is expected to be 78 degrees.

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side

The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying

'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
