Matthew is a fizzle in Jax. Max wind predicted now is 44 MPH this afternoon.

DAGNABBIT! At least we could have had a little more storm to make our window covering drill more worthwhile! DW and I got drenched yesterday putting up our window coverings. It was good exercise, though!

OTOH, like the umbrella you don’t have when it storms, if we had not put them up, I’d be in a blackout condition with 100 MPH winds howling, no power and wondering if it will ever end, and if our windows/roof survive!

“Count your blessings” Irving Berlin said in his famous 1954 song.

So, DW and I are grateful that Matthew fizzled! Even though we got far more exercise yesterday in the rain than our 75 year old bodies wanted or needed! LOL!

Glad you are safe. I have to go to West Palm Beach on the 15th. Was there much damage there? Are you available for hire? 🌝
