We are ready' but it looks like all we in central Florida will get is some rain and winds. I am filling up the gas cans for the generator if needed.
C, i think Fa is going to be wet for a long time.
Yes, we have no drought conditions anywhere in Florida! South Florida is flooded. My cousin in Ft Lauderdale had over half of her privacy fence blown down. The fence is only two years old after being replaced from a hurricane two years ago. Though her property is high and dry, much of Ft Lauderdale is flooded having received over 16 inches of rain from Eta. I did ride to church Sunday before the rains set in Sunday evening. Yesterday was definitely not a riding day. Today will not be much better.
Looks like it is definitely our turn. We are prepared.
That storm is twisting and turning like a run over snake. Can't make up it's mind where it wants to go. Good luck Carl and our other Florida members.
Thanks Q. We should come through okay with just a messy yard.
Ft Lauderdale had 78 inches of rain before Eta. Their normal annual rainfall is 72 inches. Eta brought them an additional 16 inches. We have had almost 5 inches so far. That wii change starting this afternoon.

That's the tropics for you.Wow, it's hard to imagine so much rain
Good luck Carl, its been a wet year in the south this year i know you like me are ready for a small drought.
Yes, but we are high and dry on a sand ridge. I am not worried about flooding.
Good for you, one thing when my wife and i looked for land to build on we made sure it had some elevation. The first 10 years after college i worked in the engineering field i remember the sanitary engineers saying always remember that

.The worst is over for us. Just some gusty winds and passing tropical rains. It should be clear this afternoon.
I slept through it, we had .47" of rain before midnight and 1.76 " from midnight to 6:00 am and the highest recorded wind gust was 27 mph at ground level. When hurricane Irma passed over us it was still at hurricane strength but at ground level the highest gust was at 42 mph. I have a Davis industries weather station that updates the wind every 2 1/2 seconds.Exactly!

Glad you were spared Carl
Hopefully we are all done.
