May Color Challenge Entry (Note: Journaling Spot is a hue of blue, doesn't really look it in photo)

It's tough to understand the title. This is a companion page to another layout titled Storm. So the true title is Storm Advance. These are evening photos. That morning bulls eye for Tropical Storm Dolly was Galveston. I woke James up and we spent six hours picking up and putting up at the house. By the time we were done Dolly was headed for Brownsville and she became a hurricane as she made landfall just north of Brownsville in 2008. Ironically all that picking up and putting up would happen again two months later in Sept when Hurricane Ike made landfall in Galveston. These are pictures taken at our Angleton Home. As the crow flies our house is 15-16 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. I was amazed to see how far this storm extended out as it is a 8-9 hour drive to Brownsville from Angleton. As for the picture I do not understand why the "d" in the title came out a different color. I also took some ideas from Ana's Spring Storm Layout I scraplifted for the GCT Challenge. I cut out by hand my clouds and umbrella.

Gorgeous! Love the journaling and the explanation - I missed Dolly (hadn't moved to Houston, yet), but was right in the middle of Ike! Great job on the stitching.
