Fall is here (well at least for today)

[runkpanole]

It will probably climb back closer to 90 later this week, but at least for this morning, it is around 60 and no humidity.

We slipped down to Myrtle Beach for a couple of chilly days. I’ll take it and like it. 62 degrees right now. The early walk was windy and brisk.

It hit us yesterday. So nice to have a little break from the heat and humidity.

I wore my raincoat to walk the dog this AM and the long sleeves felt good. Usually can only tolerate the umbrella. If it would just STOP RAINING...15 straight days. I think I have webbed feet.

 

[The Tradition]

Yeah, lots of rain here at Tradition Manor this weekend.

I ordered a fire table and two patio heaters hoping to drag out another month use of the deck. Then transition to monthly trips to the desert.

It was beautiful this morning. But now we are starting to get the outer bands from Beta

It’s a perfect day in Gods Country.

Temps in the high 60s today, but raining. I still have lots to do outside. Lots.

 

[goldmom]

15 straight days of rain and the weeds are out in full force. Windy too - I picked up many palm fronds in the front yard today.

I wish that was the extent of my problems.

Did you guys take a big hit?

Son lives in St Pete just a block off the water. Sent a pic of his back yard pool. Was so humid you could not see the pool.

 

[Finance85]

Did you guys take a big hit?

Yup. Not as much wind damage as Ivan, but almost as much water.

And a Skanska barge took out a big chunk of the new bridge from Pensacola to Gulf Breeze.

I had about two feet of water in the lower level of my house. Also got in my car and motorcycle.

Rats. That sucks.
It just seems so often that flooding is the unspoken damage. Wind damage is the headliner, but it is soon long gone. Mitigation of high water hangs around like an unwanted guest.
Ivan and Francis were two nearly back to back storms that wrecked havoc in our far inland area some 16 years ago. People died and homes/businesses never recovered.
