Re: Tropical Storm Update
 

I'll keep my fingers, legs, toes, and eyes crossed that the storm dies out before reaching the Villages, FL and it's residents! :o

Re: Tropical Storm Update
 

Thanks for keeping us posted.

Re: Tropical Storm Update
 

Sending prayers to all of you in The Villages waiting as the storm passes through. Be safe!

Handi, thanks for starting the thread and the updates. We are in New Jersey and the Florida storm coverage is quite extensive but not central Florida specific. We appreciate your thoughtfulness in updating in live time. Our thoughts are with our friends and neighbors in The Villages. Be safe....God bless.

It's 9:47 and all is dry. Golfers have been on Palmer. Dark clouds are starting to show up in the Eastern sky.

I called my buddy JoJo and she said that the eye was predicted to pass close to LadyLake. Not good news. I wish, I wish, you all had basements. Wish there was a way TV could build some fortified places and take it out of our amenities. I sure would like THAT. They could even do it without asking me..........

It's 10:08 and the skies have opened up. Rain is coming in sideways across Lake Sumter.
Several golf carts just went flying by.. heading up to and passing the 7th hole of Riley.

Re: Tropical Storm Update
 

I hope you don't mean that they were literally flying? Saying a prayer for all of you that you are safe through this storm. Please keep us posted.

Just lost my Dish Network Satellite Signal. Really dark out over here in Polo Ridge.

Had to dash from my first pickleball beginners organized play at Coconut Cove at 10 a.m. Started with some sun at 9 a.m. Tropical storms come in bands and that's what's happening. Right now it's just drizzling.

Re: Tropical Storm Update
 

Seems we have just experienced a short (duration) bit of rain and wind. Looking at the animated weather map it is one of the Northernmost outer bands. The all day stuff is soon to arrive.

I would also like to share my interpretation of the latest set of computer models this morning:

:dontknow: = "we have no idea where it is going next" :joke:

I'm sorry..bad choice of words under the circumstances :duck:
Let me rephrase my statement. " Several golf carts just went by at high speed. All four wheels appeared to be on the ground but my eyes aren't what they used to be!! ;)
