I am afraid it is hurricane season again in the Sunshine State and we are carefully tracking every tropical storm and tropical depression so we can get out of the way if any of them turn into hurricanes.
After getting an Ivan/ Dennis double whammy, we are much, much wiser. We're not staying this time to take the pounding. We will be packing and taking mini vacation somewhere where we will not have anxiety about the wind velocity and flooding possibility.
We're hoping Someone up there is going to spare us this year but we still need to be hypervigilant until the hurricane season is over.
Fresh from the Weather Channel:
"On its current path, Chris is tracking just north of the Virgin Islands and will also pass just north of Puerto Rico tonight and during the early morning hours. Radar out of San Juan, Puerto Rico is showing the outer bands of Chris sweeping through the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. These squalls will be accompanied with bouts of heavy rain and gusty winds. Total rainfall amounts of 2 to locally 5 inches is possible for the islands.
Tropical storm warnings remain posted for Puerto Rico and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. A hurricane watch has been posted for the Turks and Caicos along with the southeastern Bahamas. A hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions are possible during the next 36 hours.
Residents of the Bahamas and south Florida should monitor the progress of Chris closely. As the projected path suggests, please be aware that it is quite possible that Chris may be nearing the Straits of Florida some time this weekend and may impact northern Cuba to the Florida Keys with heavy rain and squalls".

Hi...I know it can suck living here because of the storms, but at least we get more notice about them for days it's not like the way those poor people in asia have no warning with the tsunami's. We'lll just keep an eye out you stay safe too...Sandi
Mini vacations sounds smart and wise! It's always wise to turn lemons into lemonade. We don't have to leave here in central NC but we get the occasional remnant of hurricanes that head north.
Oh boy... I sure hope the southern coastal states catch a break this season. Go away storms!
Here's hoping Mother Nature's bark is worse than her bite this year! Hang tight, be thinking of you.
