Well, it gets better for MY house each time we get an update, it seems. This is a relief. Instead of another Hurricane Fiesta (We went to one at Tequila Sunrise last evening; great food, good margaritas) tonight though, we're going to grill steaks.

Anyway, onto business. Here is my latest drawing ; as you can see, it drifts even further North and East of Freeport, which is great, and slightly more North of a Landfall for us, which is good for Vero Beach but not as good for Melbourne. Lucky for Melbourne, this storm is getting weaker. Still, it will arrive wet and slow and with 120 MPH winds that will stay for hours. It seems like a parody to be thankful for that, but yesterday this looked much worse: 140 MPG winds with gusts to 180. That would not be horrible, that would be utterly devastating.

Mercy comes in many forms, it seems.

Anyway, the next advisory is at 2pm but it is only an intermediate one with reports on winds and location. The next probability / discussion advisory will be 5pm. I probably won't Blog about the storm until after I digest that.

Take care!
