Well shucks, it appears that our house guest and dearest of friends here to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of Katrina may be waylaid by Erika.

So far it looks like the rest of its career will just be in the rain department, but you can't trust those damned things.  |

It looks enough precipitation to delay her departure.
I just don't want it to be fretful for her.

Erika has weakened and is no longer a tropical storm, but residents of Florida have been asked to remain vigilant due to flooding concerns. Here in north Florida there has been constant rain all summer with some flooding, and just since I've been home it's rained every day. More heavy rain, if it comes this way, will be an especially big problem for the southern half of the state where the summer floods have been even worse.

As you know, it's important to pay attention to weather that might have a serious impact down the road, but these things are terribly fickle and cannot be predicted so far out. For us, the even scarier weather disturbances are the ones that pop up, seemingly overnight, in the Gulf or the Carribean.

Hurricane Joaquin now a category 4, barring down on the Bahamas with major force winds.
The trajectories are most bizarre.
Its what is known as a spaghetti factor, leaving all the major meteorologists baffled.

Tropical storm Joaquin is probably going to dump a shitload of rain on England and France in a few days.

Actually, the latest track has it missing France, too. It is headed for Portugal.

Here's something positive for those of us in my part of the world: Only six days of hurricane season left!

I guess Hurricane Alex didn't follow directions.
Alex is not just the first named storm of 2016, but it's also the first named storm to form in the Atlantic in January since 1978, the first January-born hurricane since 1938, and the fourth known storm to arrive in that month since records began in 1851.www.cnn.com/2016/01/14/world/hurricane-alex-atlantic/index.html |

Apparently is is headed to Greenland. That doesn't sound very normal either.

Yes, it appears that the Eastern Coast of Florida,
Georgia and the Carolinas are in for a boat load of rain.
Hopefully no major flooding.
I hope the season remains as mild as last year.
El Nino seems to be on our side.
I have heard the predictions but never really put much stock in them so, don't even bother posting them.

Tropical Storm Colin is in the Gulf of Mexico moving NNE. Heavy rain, storm surge, and flooding is expected in the area of Cedar Key. Tornados are also a concern, and a few have already been reported. The schools In the Cedar Key area have closed and residents and business owners along the coast have been asked to consider evacuating to higher ground. There has been heavy rain along the west coast of Florida for the past several hours, and much more is expected. The storm is projected to cross the state a bit to the north of Gainesville. We had light rain this morning, but heavy showers started about an hour ago, with certainly much to come.

I hope your camera batteries are charged if those photogenic gators from Cedar Key are going to be delivered to your doorstep.

I think you must mean Paynes Prairie, but, yes, batteries are all charged for when those gators go floating by.

I see that the governor of Florida has declared a state of emergency.
Be safe.

Thanks! Unfortunately, due to our state of emergency, the governor had to postpone his meeting scheduled with the Republican presidential candidate.  |

Shhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
You're tempting the fates again.
Here in Florida, we've been watching the middle X. Our weather forecasters have gotten all excited because now they have something to talk about. Two days ago we were implored to please go out and purchase our hurricane supplies, ""the storm is coming!"
For me personally, because I have a slew of family coming into town and we have outdoor activities planned along with a week at the beach, I'm hoping the storm doesn't develop into something that will impact our plans.
