Arlene is a pop-corn fart.. In south Florida your average thunderstorm can produce winds in excess of 60 miles an hour..
They can up here too and frequently do. But thunderstorms don't create large tidal surges and don't last for hours like a hurricane or tropical storm can. If this storm makes landfall over Mobile Bay as predicted, those of us in NW FL on the east wall will take the worst beating. And we are still beaten up from Ivan; our dunes are gone.
And you are an old fart. Why don't you change places with
some of us.
