SNIP: Stay safe, Florida readers!
No worries here, folks.
We all bought enough beer and water
(mainly for fun).
When it hit land, it was only a Category 1.
Not great, but manageable…
…mainly light flooding and electrical issues.
Here in the Tampa Bay area, we’ve had rain for days,
but down here they have separate drainage systems
for stormwater (from sewage…
…often combined in other parts of the country).
All’s well. Keep drinking.
We live in Tallahassee – staying in Dothan, AL til it blows over.
FWIW

Bainbridge, GA. Got through unscathed.
First in eleven years?
DAMN YOU, GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!
Makes me want to watch one of my favorite movies, “Key Largo” (Bogart, Bacall, Edward G Robinson, Lionel Barrymore.) Doesn’t get much better than this.
Somewhere in America Al Gore is sitting on his couch, eating a bonbons, watching the weather channel and muttering to himself smugly “I told you so”.
The storm was allegedly a hurricane for five hours with supposed max sustained windspeed of 81 for one hour. Get a life. Not impressed. Shut up or move.
