Re: Storm's here

Alberto or his remains actually are here. It's bringing some much needed rain and has cooled the temperature to a wonderful 74 degrees. The humidity is high but with the steady wind and occasional gusts it feels great. We've gotten about 3 inches of rain too I guess. There's a small tree limb down in the back yard and some of my empty containers blew out of their "spot" last night and that's it. I haven't watched the news but I know there were tornado warnings all over last night so I hope no one got any damage from that. The dogs would have let me know if something major was happening here. I slept through most of it. Should be headed off toward NC now.

Looks like it's heading Andrea's way.  Heads up woman.

Will that be enough rain to stave off the fires long enough for the next

and that you enjoyed some time watching the surf. It was a great
visualization! I've always been on the East Coast of Florida when we've
been in the state. I didn't realize the gulf side had a dearth of surf.
Thanks for filling me in.

Alberto has moved off finally. It left a tad less than 4 inches of rain
behind and little damage. It blew three avocados out of the tree, but did
no
other damage that I can see. Toward the end, we went to the beach to see
the
surf--normally the Gulf has no surf to speak of, so storms are a welcome
diversion. It was drizzling and overcast and looked quite like an animated
Winslow Homer painting.
