Right now, we’re in the Tropical Storm part of the cone and under a Tropical Storm watch. Without being selfish, I hope it jogs a wee bit westward.
Good post.
This hurricane could turn into another Michael...
Probably not, too early.

Yikes! Poor folks filling up the gas tank before a storm, at the end of the month. Messy situation.

I know! He said they put diesel in unleaded tanks!
Ouch. Adding insult to injury.

...IDALIA A LITTLE STRONGER...
SUMMARY OF 700 PM CDT...0000 UTC...INFORMATION
Contaminated gas, bad anytime, worse to occur now.
I filled up my truck yesterday at Sam’s Club and my wife’s car at the same place this morning. It wasnt crazy at either place yet. Fortunately none of their locations are on that list.
I am glad to hear you guys got good gas. I bet there are a lot of people who are not even aware of this problem. I just happened to be listening to The Weather Channel and heard it.
another very slight SE shift on the model suite but they are more clustered
Chocolate is KEY! I always have some dark, DARK on hand for “health”, but hurricanes require assorted Reese’s, malted milk balls, caramello, etc.
So far it seems you’ll get it and it will just skirt us.
Early though, we’ll see.
Has the absolute worst excuse for a POTUS limited our coffee and chocolate intake yet?
I planted two little citrus saplings last month. I hope they make it. Will remove their protective netting when the winds pick up, and hope the Asian psyllids don't find them while they are exposed.
