Hi.

Before you know it, we will be into the Greek alphabet.

5.56mm

[blam]

Oh no.

I haven't been paying attention.

Thanks for your work.

My Houston sister just flew to Tampa to spend the W/E with my sister there.

[Rebelbase]

In before the whiners about storm hype.

Memories of 2005, leaping into the Greek alphabet. Namely, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma was a doozy too.

[NautiNurse]

Sisters should be ok in the Tampa Bay area.

[M Kehoe]

Yep.

5.56mm

[VeniVidiVici]

Ahhh. Brings back memories ...

Nahhh, let's go to the Russian alphabet, it has 9 more letters than the Greek one...

And it would be sooooo much fun to watch the left explode into a paroxysm of Russia! Russia! Russia!

We are 2+ weeks ahead of the infamous 2005 season. The “S” storm, Hurricane Stan, became a TD October 1, 2005.

[NautiNurse]

I’ll be satisfied if liberal heads explode because of the Orange Man Bad hurricane machine.

[SkyPilot]

Thanks for the ping. Looks like a lot of activity starting.

[NautiNurse]

Looks like torrential rain in the FL Keys today.

The Birmingham, AL NWS office is so befuzzled with all the active weather, they came out and said they're not even going to try to forecast potential tropical impacts for our area yet, other than to say rain is likely (50% - 70%) for the next week. One good bit of news is, come the tail end of the 3-5 Day Outlook, our high temps aren't going to climb out of the 70's for the first time since probably May. This entire summer season has been brutal with triple-digit heat indices. I am so ready for fall weather.

[Islander7]

Thanks for ping NN. Looks like it will be a TD when passes here.

[Oystir]

My first Florida summer!

[cll]

Just wow.
