Batten down the hatches!!
 

Did you see this morning's headline in the Daily Sun?

Curses, all was going well....and now it has been "spoken," WHAT HURRICANE SEASON?

It has been my experience that once something is noticed, and spoken, just wait.....:22yikes:

Make sure you have your hurricane stuff ready.

:D:D:D

Pooh. I noticed a pink sky too this morning.

What is the old saying? "Red sky in the morning, sailor take warning?

Wonder if pink is important.

I am ready. I have twinkies for me and scotch for Sweetie and peanut butter for Helene and lots of cat food.

:spoken: No hurricanes for Florida in 2013 :spoken:
Pat and Gracie, tut tut, girls. We're almost done with the season.
Never known one to turn around and head back across the gulf from Mexico.
But for fun, you can watch it on satellite, to which one is glued when there is a threat.

I've got coffee and TP stocked up, but that's addiction and neurosis, not planning for a storm. Heavens, it takes so long for one to come out of the Atlantic you can't wait till they bring it on to see if there will be landfall.

Looks like you hit all the "important" food groups! Yeah GG....you are the Sage of TOTV:angel:

:22yikes: we always come for the batten down the hatches season....never a dull moment..

I'm with you in no hurricanes, Kitty....had enough of them in the 27years I lived in coastal New England.

Just wish the paper hadn't written about the slow season so far. It reminds me of living in CA...we'd start talking about how quiet the ground has been and:boom: ,next thing you know, a professor from Cal Tech is on TV explaining what just happened, how deep the quake was, how far it was felt...and so on and so on....:D:D:D

I'm kidding of course, but wouldn't mind a storm free rest of the season.

it could just mean next year will be worse

Sandy formed on October 22 2012! Didn't affect FL much but...

Hurricane Wilma did slam southern FL and it was the most intense storm on record http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/extremeeven...-Wilma2005.pdf and it formed on October 15!

Still too much time left to call the season over.

Wilma hit Florida on oct 24 as a category 2 storm. Killed 25 people in the state. At one time before it hit FL it was a category 5 and the strongest hurricane on record. Hurricane season far from over.

Opal hit the Florida Panhandle October 4,1995 near Pensacola as a 115-mph (185-km/h) hurricane. Opal devastated the Pensacola/Panhandle area with a 15-ft (5-m) storm surge.

One of many hurricanes I have experienced.
