CHAPTER 6

Thad stopped as the man came running up. I recognized him from our meeting at the farm. “Mitchell, isn’t it?” I asked.

He nodded and held out the piece of paper. “I thought you should see this.”

I took it, and for a moment didn’t recognize what I was looking at. “Is this a weather radar image?”

“Satellite. It’s from a NOAA weather satellite.” Mitchell replied.

Looking at the image in disbelief, I asked, “How the hell did you get it? Is it recent?”

He pointed to a time/date stamp on the upper corner. “Yeah, this was two hours ago.” He handed me several other images. “You can see the track of this thing. It’s going to roll right over us.”

The image was a very large tropical storm. It was working its way up through the Bahamas at the moment. On one of the images there was an arch drawn in red ink. Mitchell pointed to it and said, “This is the possible track if it stays on this course.”

“How the hell did you get these?” I asked.

“The satellites are still up and working. I built an antenna that could receive the signal and connected it to my laptop. It was just something to play with before. But now, I can keep an eye on the weather with it.”

There was obviously more to this guy that met the eye. “Can I see your setup?” I asked.

Without hesitation, he replied, “Sure. We’ll go to my house and you can see the latest images. Just follow me.” He walked over and got into a side-by-side UTV that I hadn’t noticed.

As he pulled away, Thad said, “This should be interesting”. Looking at the printed images in my hand, I said, “Very.”

We followed him down Orange Ave, which is also highway 44. We went a fairly long way down 44 before he turned left onto a dirt road and immediately into a driveway. I recognized the house because Mel and I had looked at it when it was on the market a couple of years ago. It was without a doubt the perfect place to live today. Most of the place was underground. There was a large section above ground that gave a very good view of the surrounding area. But most of it was either underground or covered with an earth berm. There was also a very large Quonset hut behind the house that made for a great shop.

We pulled in behind Mitch and stopped. As he was getting out of the UTV, he pulled a handheld radio from his hip and made a call. Looking at us, he smiled and said, “Just letting Michelle know I’m back and you’re with me so she doesn’t shoot you.”

With a little laugh, I said, “I appreciate that.”

He smiled and nodded, saying, “Come inside and I’ll show you the setup.”

We followed him into the garage of the house, which was already cooler that the outside temp. Going through a door into the house proper, the temp was even cooler.

“Wow, this feels great in here,” Thad said.
