Well, well. Even bad weather follows me to my seaside paradise.
Tornado warnings are popping up everywhere. Funnel spotted on the ground, headed toward Port Aransas. Head to the hills, spring break kids!
I'm guessing this is not the best time to take my tot to the sandy beach for fun and sun. I can hear the winds whipping around outside. The weather radio screeches occasionally, warning the locals to head for shelter and/or laugh at the unsuspecting tourists. Ah, spring break. What a fine mess it is.
I wonder... do the pelicans strap themselves to the piers when tornadoes pop up? Do they huddle together and form a windbreak with their beaks? Do they lick their webbed feet and stick them in the air to test the wind direction?
I think I have a thing for pelicans. I hope they survive the hellish winds... and spring break.

4 beautiful people muttered something back:
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear. Stay safe and dry. I think the Pelicans know well before the funnel clouds arrive...at least I hope they do.
At least you've found a seaside eatery now that the weather threats have subsided. Don't let the pelican eat our baby!
You should shield behind the Pelicans when the bad weather comes, I'm sure their bill would make great cover.
Stay safe. And don't worry about the pelicans. They can eat almost anything and they're streamlined. They just face into the wind, close their eyes, and hang on for dear life.
