I've been watching Ryan Hall Y'all on You Tube a little bit this afternoon and on his coverage they said that Florida has had over 55 tornado warnings this afternoon ahead of the Milton making landfall. If a hurricane isn't bad enough they get tornadoes to deal with. Ick.
I am the official Iowa Hawkeye football fan of GPL!
Aloha!
Luckily the Rays are not in the playoffs this year.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
I am honestly shocked that anybody lives in Florida anymore. It sounds like insurance companies are not taking on new customers. How are you expected to buy a house in Florida if you can’t get insurance?
I was in FL when Helene hit (east/southeast of Orlando in a city called Viera) for softball. We flew in Wednesday and the pilot had to adjust his flightpath to come in from the east because the winds blowing in from the gulf were already causing havoc.
We had our first game Thursday afternoon and were playing in 40-50mph winds even before Helene made landfall and we were on the opposite side of the state. Right as we got done with our game the sirens went off in the complex to alert for lightning strikes in the vicinity and the whole park cleared out to their cars within probably 10 minutes. It rained pretty hard for 20-30 minutes and then stopped basically until sundown when the hurricane got to land.
Once the hurricane made landfall I think they said our area got about 2.5 inches of rain (all overnight) and gusts up to 60mph.
I wouldn't want to be around for one making landfall, that's for damn sure.
Kids are getting terrible weather on Halloween lately. Last year was cold with 2" of snow (second most snow on Halloween ever) and this year we've had such a warm and dry fall and this crappy cold wet day happens on Halloween. Tomorrow the temps go right back up.
80 degrees just 2 days ago!
Sucks.

I hope we do not get a repeat of 1991 Blizzard
Aloha!
My grass is greener on Nov. 4th than most of Sept. and all of Oct… lol!!!

Lilacs were still out as late as a week ago in my neighborhood here and on our way home from Duluth a couple weeks ago I picked some up north from my parent’s property to take home. I’ve never seen that before in my life. My favorite flower though so was neat to get a couple last sniffs of lilac!
That is crazy! When we left in September our neighbors lilacs were re-blooming and I’d also never seen that before. I hope they aren’t so stressed or thrown off that next spring is affected.Lilacs were still out as late as a week ago in my neighborhood here and on our way home from Duluth a couple weeks ago I picked some up north from my parent’s property to take home.

Lilacs are my favorite too. When I got married, the neighbor let me cut big bunches that went into my bouquet, MOH bouquet, the church arrangements and decorated our cake.
Note: Due to inflation dirty deeds will no longer be done dirt cheap.

Several years ago, I was on Lake Minnetonka in a friends boat coming back from Maynards. It was very late, dark raining and thundering. And as we were cruising back to his house, a bolt of lightning hit the bow of the boat. Scared the stew out of us. Lots of sparks and if I recall it shorted out bow lamp.

I was way to close to the lightening strike at the US Open in ’91. Was actually closer to where it hit about five minutes earlier when my grandpa looked around and said “we’re moving, this isn’t t good.”
