Default Here we go, Floridians!!!

My first weather warning of the season:

Tropical Storm Warnings for Florida - Tropical Depression 4 pops up - The Emergency Email & Wireless Network .......... www. EmergencyEmail.ORG ........ NewsEmergency.com

With this in the Gulf and what's stirring up in the Atlantic, let's start paying close attention to the weather

I'm just going to move the chids from the patio into the orchid room as a precaution...35 mph winds would make a mess out there...aliflor rolling all over the place!

Stay safe everybody

I guess it's not headed my way I think but Naples and the other side of the peninsula instead. It was really really really rainy here yesterday. We got rain from about 5:30 am until about 7 pm. Today it's sunny with some breeze. By the way Sue what's that plant on your avatar is sooo cute !!!!

Don't know how you folks do it every year. Then again, we have three-foot snowstorms and sub-zero temps where we're trapped indoors for a couple of days. Hard to say which is nastier. Good luck down there! Be safe.

Looks like I'm getting just the very outer bands of winds, shouldn't be too bad but I'm watching it like a hawk!

Roly, that chid is Galeandra baueri

Hey all you folks in the Florida area I am keeping my fingers crossed for ya. I don't think I could deal with the kind of storms you all get. Be safe and take care.
