Me thinks that your kung foo be right! Catturd is somewhere north of Clearwater on the Gulf; he just endured Helene passing by closely to the west. I hope this one is kinder to him.
The TV meteorologist says he has never seen a storm explode with such rapid gain of speed. In my area - for now - they are predicting 70 to 90 MPH winds but wind gusts and tornadoes are a whole 'nother crib of corn.
Catturd lives in the Panhandle.
