I’m relieved. I thought we had someone here who was in the panhandle. I’m glad to be wrong.
Not that I know of. My buddy's dad lives in Destin. They're about 50 miles west of where the thing hit land but they're OK. The west side is the better side to be on.

And no one finds it odd that BK and Bronze think about being 4’ tall a lot of time?

Now that you mention it, I thought that they were recognizing the effect of tall people using resources unnecessarily contributing to global cooling, global warming or climate change.
I was struck silent in awe.

It is cool and sunny here. I got my old bones under the truck and greased the drive shaft; then changed out some power steering fluid; then changed the oil. The cool weather gave me a burst of utterly irrational exuberance. Who knows how much money was saved today.

It's been raining hard non stop for three hours here. Looks like it might start tailing off in about an hour. Tomorrow is 73 and no humidity. WooHoo!!

The rain tailed off and then the wind picked up and was blowin' like a mutha. Power is out. Limbs laying everywhere. Big ole oak came down at Mike n Lisa's house. Took out a corner of their garage. Mike is in FL. Made sure Lisa was OK. Tree is laying in front of their garage so cars are of no use.

Canes and tropical storms suck. They are depressing.

I didn't know they were still in NC. Well that is good, they don't have to spend more gas money to get there. Those Cajun Navy folks are heroes in my book. Today is a beautiful day here. More rain coming our way, and oh you know we need it. (pure sarcasm) I haven't heard Eleanor talk about the storm, and I think she is spared because of her location. I hope so anyway. It will effect the Carolinas and Georgia, and continue on with rain after that too.

Agreed. We need @EleanorR to check in and let us know she’s okay.

Hey y'all, reporting from Vero Beach FL. No hurricane stuff for us here, except a few cloudbursts on Wednesday. :)

I'm a little surprised it was such a nothing-burger for us, since Mike looked to be so HUGE (across). Oh well, thank God for that.


Thank God also that it is moving so quickly, so no more multi-day rain and flood events for the south-central Atlantic states!

Good grief! What a mess. I’d have avoided going to Florida or traveling anywhere. Even though he has a troubling name, I hope your neighbors get that cleared up quickly with no fuss from insurance.

That’s good news! I’m glad you’re safe. I thought there’d be issues for the whole state too, based on the monstrous size of that storm. Thank you for checking in.

sorry to hear this! Sounds like you’ll have plenty to do with that nice weather tomorrow. Glad the neighbors are ok.

Evening...….Dropping to he mid 50s here. Time for a jacket...

Night temps, or daytime highs? We’ve been in the 70s in the daytime here, and close to 50’s at night. Locals are joking about needing their parkas and winter boots. I brought my winter boots but haven’t worn them more than a few times. Mostly in LA in the winter. Got surprisingly cold there sometimes.
