Man, what a drastic turn on the Bell curve of weather. I left Loovul this past Sunday when it was 74*, sunny and breezy. Perfect weather.

Now 4 days later, I have a Hurricane projected to hit center mass on my home county here in Florida. Of course we're only about 5 feet above sea level here, and a good rain causes flooding over the entire area, so a hurricane shouldn't be that bad, right?

Time to button the house up, tie the outdoor furniture to the fence, bring in anything that might go sailing thru the windows, park the cars as far up the driveway as I can, and get out the scuba gear.

See ya'll in a couple of days. Welcome to paradise my A##.   County officials ordered a mandatory evacuation of all low lying areas starting at 6:00 pm tonight.  2 roads going North, 3 bridges to the east, and 1 bridge South is all that connects us to the mainland. And a population of just over 1 million folks in the county. This is gunna be real fun. Does Home Depot sell canoes??

Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.

I saw that on the news, and was thinking of you. Our weather here is crappy, but not THAT crappy! Good luck, and report in when you can. Probably see you this winter, if Florida doesn't sink into the sea like Atlantis!

Hope the worst of the weather bypassed you down there.  My Dad is in St Petersburg right now at my sister's place.  Flew in on Thursday in preparation to help her drive back to Iowa as she's moving back north.

Hope the house held up OK, she's supposed to close the sale Monday.  That'd be just the luck to have it blow apart on Friday.
