Looks like our turn this time

The messy area in the Gulf of Mexico that has been actively tracked for weeks has spun up yet another tropical storm.  The current predictions show it going virtually overhead Wednesday evening through Thursday morning.  

Meet tropical storm Milton.

This storm has developed fast. The first chart like this was posted at 2PM ET as a depression; this one was 5PM ET as a tropical storm. Since the Time of Arrival of first tropical storm winds here looks to be Wednesday morning, it looks like Tuesday will be the last day to get everything done.  Our local forecast for Sunday Oct. 5th through the next Friday (11th) has been calling for rain every day this coming week for as long as those days have been in the 10 day forecast, so it will most likely be raining as we do all that. 

So... here we go again!

  1. Praying for all, and for God's mercy. A calm the storm Miracle would be a blessing.

  2. Had to reschedule a very important doctor's appointment last week. Rescheduled to Wednesday.

    If I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all.

    And now that the ground is saturated up here in North Central Florida, I fully expect more trees to fall. Yeehaw. Seems like a repeat of 2004.
