Hello, adult here, today, now with way TMI

Plugged in to all the information on the upcoming storm still a Tropical Storm Fay, but she has escalated to 60mph winds, and the pressure has dropped to 998 millibars.

As I said before... too much information, but no one actually knows where she will be going or how dangerous she we'll be when she gets here, there, or wherever!

Why isn’t meteorology called a practice like the non exact sciences of medicine and law? It is NOT an exact science by any means!

Now I am being told on the news that the storm is more powerful on one side than the other, huh? Sure, makes sense to me.
Time for arrival may be anywhere from 8 A.M. to 3P.M. tomorrow! Although, it will still be in our state on Wednesday, lucky us for being so big!

I am not trying to take this situation lightly; eight people have died from this storm on its way here, there or somewhere near here or there.

At least we were ahead of the curve it appears as many are still out there trying to gas up and find water, generators, batteries, flashlights, etc.

Surprising to me...so many new people apparently that weren't here for our historic busy 2004-2005 hurricane season!
That's when we got most of our non disposable supplies.

Storm surge is still haunting the probability factor with even minor winds from a category 1.

That great weather site that I mentioned www.wunderground.com/tropical/ has also notified us that Invest 94, which could become Gustav is following not too closely fickle Fay, oh joy, more fun.

Anticipation, weariness, concern, preparing, having them hit or miss us... is this the excitement of my golden years?

I really have no idea for sure, the heart beats a little faster during this time, but November 30th is less than 3 and a half months away, and by some unknowing psychic ability the season will end again for another year.
We just have to survive this one at its most active time!

Good night, quiet will fall and we shall be here tomorrow you all.
