Fay, Gustav, Hanna, Ike and 99, oh my!

And a BIG, oh NO!!!!
We are in for it BIG TIME!
The cone of uncertainty is on high alert for us in Florida.

Thank heavens the disaster in New Orleans, and surrounding areas was not as severe as it might have been.

But now, again, we are under the fire of nature’s wrath.
By the end of this week two more weather systems are arrogantly showing their ugly sides.
And we may very well, more than likely be in their path.
Cones of uncertainty and spaghetti plots don't lie? Do they?
Hopefully they will be wrong.
Hurricane Hanna has become a category 1 today, and may soon be a 2.
Ike is still just a tropical storm, but could have a little bit of Hanna envy, and grow much larger by Saturday from non shearing winds.

And Invest 99 is named after that famed Get Smart agent so I am sure she will have aspirations to break that glass ceiling in the storm game!

We are in deep… you know what.
Sorry, but my Blog is rated PG.

Anyway, we are still ready.
But boy are we getting cabin fever.
Not much is going on.
Most are staying close to home and information.

On the upside, today was a pool day for me, and the days will be drier for the next few. So were a few last week. Taking advantage of that is why we live in Florida.
Boating is hazardous though due to the storms, but we don't go much with the high gas prices, although we have a boat with a four stroke engine, which is more economical.
The fall is best for boating and fishing, calmer waters and cooler temperatures then.

Tomorrow with no storms close I will try to discuss something else.

Good night to all, be well, stay dry, and be thankful for whatever you can think of.
