it has been dreary overcast and raining off and on all day, so i cleaned out the garage and started unpacking some boxes i still haven't gotten to because of business travel most of the year so far, a month in Pensacola, FL, three months in Portland, OR, and a month in Charleston SC. i want to stay home dammit, even in the rain!

I hope that you can find a way to be home more, traveling like that must take a toll ma Ja'k, Keep an eye on Irma, hopefully she stays out at sea, one can hope anyway. As for here it was mostly sunny with haze light winds and low 80's for the high today.

well, there is good news and bad news on the hurricane front...good news is that there are no longer two storms brewing, as Tropical Storm Lida is pretty much gone out the area and headed way out to sea over cold water, which stalls out tropical storms and hurricanes. both tropical storms and hurricanes need warm water to generate strength and size. the bad news is that Hurricane Irma is now a category 3 storm with winds at 115mph and strengthening, NWS is saying possibly a category 4 by Tuesday. what's worse, is that everyone is guessing on where Irma will go, no definitive tracks at this point.
i guess i better get my first hurricane kit together in the new house.

Yea Irma is looking like a monster, it looks like it MAY stay south of you, but its looking worse for Florida, but yea when these storms are more than five days out the track can be very iffy there is even an opening for it getting into the gulf. Once again It may be left behind by the steering currents therefore it may take a wierd and slow track once it trys to turn north.
As for here, well the sky is filled with smoke to the point that you cant even see the blue in the sky and where it has almost looked like the sun was getting blotted out. |

Been a long several days, talking with a friend on FB that lives in Florida and hopeing she was in the best spot, thankfully shes fine though, wow it was quite the storm, thankfully it lost some of its strength as it stayed over Cuba longer( although it was bad for them) and because of that it wasn't quite as bad in Florida but still one heck of a storm there. Well now there is Jose, whom is still looking at his map and not sure where he wants to go, (hopefully out to sea) and as for here, well we had some cirrus clouds from Irma that pushed as far west as Kansas. but other than that, mild, light winds and we could use some rain here.

can you believe Hurricane Jose is still hanging around and causing rains, overcast conditions, wind, erratic forecasts, and a general logistical nightmare for anyone living or working near the coast. first they say it's not a threat, we relax, then it's a threat and we have to pack up our jobboxes and trailers, then it's downgraded again and we start bringing stuff back to the site...now it's being stupid again!! arrggghhhhh!

Jose Cuervo is drunk and wandering the Atlantic and now Maria has formed and has become a hurricane and is heading for some of the islands that Irma hit, and some of the models now Have Jose doing yet another loop in its track and yesterday some of the models spit out a solution where Maria and Jose got close enough to start the "fujiwara" effect( if two hurricanes get to close to one another they start "orbiting" a common center between the two) and had Maria being flung away from the US while Jose was flung into the east coast. either way, wayyy to many Hurricanes. As for here well we had some thunderstorms yesterday and today was cloudy for the most part and refreshingly cooler, more storms and humid weather are forecast for tomorrow.

We finally cooled off some this week and it felt good, we still hit the low 80's a few times but with the lower humidity the nights have been awesome, it looks like warm south winds will return tomorrow and the humidity will come back soon, October will start out like May here, could use more rain though, and we might get it this week. I'm glad all the hurricanes are gone, the may visit Alan's neck of the woods with some sqally weather this weekend as north Atlantic depressions.

autumn is starting off awesome this year, cool and warm, breezy, October looks to be a nice Indian Summer as long as the hurricane season has peaked off, and kim jong whatshisface doesn't launch his little missiles on us.
