Hey there, friend. Good to see you’re still rounding up the hurricanes.

Calm in Polk County.

Watching Tampa Bay local news—can’t believe the number of people driving on the flooded roads.

Okay Leni, thanks for the report. Best of luck to you.

As you state, you should be okay. (going by what you say, and that makes sense)

Please stay safe in NPR. You are an important poster here. If you do not know how to swim, do not drive through flooded streets.

Some rain here in Jacksonville, FL...we’re supposed to have it hit between midnight and 4 am..So far the weather critters local are not sounding too alarmed.

Pupster had several walks tonight so she’s tired. Her Thundershirt is at the ready if it gets noisy.
Going to bed soon, if it wakes us up, we will check back in.

No doubt this is all due to that “Gerbil Warming” as I call it. As long as I can focus on storms, I guess I don’t have to worry about Isis...ha.

[NautiNurse]

Thanks for checking in! Hoping you have uneventful weather tonight.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

How much rain have you received now?

[Yaelle]

If you want summer to last until Thanksgiving come to SoCal. 98 here today.

[Yaelle]

Stay safe, and everyone else affected!

It's 3:34 AM....Hermine has landed....it's above and around me....huge thunder claps, vivid lightning filling my digs, torrential rain outside hurtling sideways, looks like the street is under water, can't see the canal below me from my top (3rd) floor perch...the air is so roiling with the driving rain can't make anything out.

I'm amazed I still have power.....if the A/C goes out it'll be hard to breathe.

Going back to bed, perchance to sleep.....will report when I get up, probably late.....

Praying that all are well after the storm has passed

Holy cow it’s howling wind and rain. My dog woke me up just before the rain started. Made a quick run outside with her, lots of branches down but not bad in Seminole Country this morning.

[glock rocks]

We just don’t have storms like this out here in the Great Basin. Must be terrifying. Prayers up.

[NautiNurse]

Thank you for checking in, Leni.

Good grief! This storm is going out with a bang. Way down in So. Tampa Bay we've got t-boomers, wind, the power is flickering and rain. Lots more rain.

[NautiNurse]

7.94” and it’s still coming down.

[NautiNurse]

Hang in there! Hermine is the gift that keeps on giving.

Rain just getting to Fayetteville, NC. Had .08 inch since 5 AM.
