Default Tropical Storm Warning

Nothing like starting the week with a storm warning. TD 4 should pay us a visit later today/tonight.

Have the bike secured, and batteries procured.



I guess Ana will be next up. Hope Bill turns north.

It rain so bad here yesterday that the pool overfilled and the lavel on the lake behind my house is up half way in my yard...Looking at all these storms in a row I went today filled my show truck 20 gallons (since it will be very easy to syphon out of it if need be) and filled up five tanks of gasoline just in case anything comes my way and need to run the generator.

High tide crested 2 hours late here about 4" below the seawalls. Next high tide tonight at 1 am. We've already done our stage one evacuation. Boats and bikes moved. Gonna take a wait and see before we move anything else. At most they are calling for a 7' storm surge, which would put only a 6 to 12" under the house.... but they are often wrong about storm surge.

Good luck to all you folks in the panhandle. We may have our storms to deal with in Central Fl soon, too soon for me.
