Darla Jaye talks about Hurricane Harvey

The big news over the weekend was hurricane Harvey hitting the Gulf coast of Texas.

The amount of rain they have received over the last couple of days in that area has been measured in feet, not inches. Over 2 feet of rain has fell, and at least that much more is in the forecast for the next couple of days.

I wanted to talk to someone down in the Houston area about the hurricane and find out first hand what was going on. Darla Jaye, who I worked with at WKLQ and WGRD back in the late 80’s and early 90’s, had just moved down there a few weeks ago. Fortunately there was cell service and she could call and talk to us.

Here is the phone conversation I had with Darla on 98.7 WFGR on Monday, August 28th, 2017…

 

It was great to hear from her again! Be safe Darla!!!

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.
