Tropical Storm Fay

[justatypn]

Just got back from batting down the hatches at dad's on the east coast. Might be a bit premature but when you loose everything from the 2004 hurricanes, can't take any chances; boats in the canal, boarded the windows, putting up debris bullets, lock the doors and wait it out. The feeder bands will make it later this evening with tropical storm winds and rain.

Looks like it will slice between Sue and I, flooding and heavy winds. Just a big job for those outside growers but your right Sue a great opportunity to freshen the orchid house.

Stay safe all in the path of the little lady.

btw Marty...Bring it on to the beaches and a visit to Disney should be a great time, weather will be coorporative 30% chance of rain, no brainer~it's a safety for the meterologist but a bit muggy with the previous days rain but other than that, enjoy our paradise.

Just saw Hog's Breath Saloon (Key West) closed. That's it folks! Now we're serious.

Wake up Dad. It's headed your way!

Well, it looks like I may dodge a bullet here! The news is saying the Tampa Bay area may still get a lot of rain and winds but the winds should be less than earlier expected

Still paying close attention but I am very happy...and tired!



Still concerned for my friends south of me...what's it looking like for you guys?

Its raining on and off here ( miami ) yup if you watch the news long enough they will wear you out. Probably raining harder on the west coast. I love that web site Susanne, the underground weather.

I depend on that site in winter...it gives very specific hourly temp projections for your zip code.

It's a keeper

How's everybody doing down south?

Still watching like a hawk

Things look good around here this morning. Still raining on and off. A few leaves on the ground. My pool has a LOT of rain water. Nice and breezy outside. Too bad I gotta go to work. How are things up north?
