Our first tropical storm is circling about outside our house at the moment - off and on rain since about 4:00 a.m. I've been listening to the local TV weather guys out of Tampa for most of the morning and I was just sitting here staring out the window since the rain and wind were picking up a bit and I hear the weather guy say "we don't want people to be staring out their windows." Yikes!!
I do take these things seriously, of course, and I understand the dangers of flying debris. But I was actually just staring at my soggy outdoor cushions and thinking I really should have brought them inside last night.
We were about to head out to the grocery store because our Utah family arrives in Florida tomorrow night, but I guess we'll wait until this afternoon. Funny, they were here last year about this same time when T. S. Debby blew through. I haven't looked ahead at the names of the other projected storms yet, but I so hope that the E name will be Eliot and it will start out as a Tropical Storm. T. S. Eliot! Oh, come on, it's a little bit funny. --cds
