Hi, We have so much rain these days. If there is more there will be
flooding.

I passed several car accidents on the way to pdoc's appt.

I hope it clears up for us.
I hope others in weird weather situations are safe.

Hi Mari I've seen the reports, and radar of your State. That tropical storm is moving over most of the State.

It looks like it's very energized around the Tampa area. That's close to where one of my cousins lives.

It will become rainy, but it will pass hopefully soon. BF

It's just hot, and humid up here. The storm is forecast to go out to sea before it would enter my State. There is a large high pressure system over this area. BF

[Mari]

I think we are getting rain from a different system -- not the tropical storm although we are expected to get rain from that storm too in a day or so.

They are warning of rip currents -- (All tourists out of the water)
What is a rip current?

Moving at speeds of up to eight feet per second, rip currents can move faster than an Olympic swimmer.
Panicked swimmers often try to counter a rip current by swimming straight back to shore . . .

We are also under a flood warning.
NWS Flood Safety Home Page

A Flood Warning is issued when the hazardous weather event is imminent or already happening.

I've been thinking a lot about the people of Haiti…
It's such a poor country, the people suffer all the time, and the island seems like a magnet for natural disasters…

I hope everyone here will be safe from the storm

[Mari]

Haiti is missing infrastructure and they got hit with the worst part of the storm.
The US military and other outside forces/agencies/groups are already on the ground or on their way

I have to go into work today but hope to leave early.

Hubby and I have full tanks of gas in the cars and we are comfortable
about our supply of water and batteries.


Otherwise, we basically have what we need but I did not
buy tons of other stuff. To do so felt obsessive . . . .can't really explain my feelings.


I have listened to the news and repeatedly read updates at
Weather Forecast & Reports - Long Range & Local | Wunderground | Weather Underground
Somehow I find everything confusing --
. . . .Also because we are told by county officials to "Hope for the best and expect the worst." --- That encompasses a big range.
