Richmond we didn’t have any power or wifi loss

Ugly tree in the prairie still standing. Swaying alot, and still ugly

Water gage says 2” but because of the gusts it’s not coming strait down.

Outside I can hear faint hum from turnpike so wind gusts can’t be that bad.

I know we have few hours left but so far so good

no issues here, by magnolia plaza. just winds & rain-- we've been spared.

I slept through the worst I guess. Looking outside, I have a few potted plants that can often tip over in heavy wind and they are still standing. One plant out front I hate but my wife won't let me take it out. Last year it got decimated by one of the hurricanes but came back to life this spring unfortunately. It looks like normal today. No sign of any wind trauma. I expect rain banding to continue on and off until early afternoon or so. Some will be heavy. Golf courses will benefit.

You're kidding! I got up this morning and checked the news and discovered the hurrican was about to hit land and there was a tornado warning for an area just three miles north of my house, extending up to Ocala. The news said I was currently experiencing a fierce storm and 50 mph winds. I walked outside and it was sprinkling and the trees were swaying in a pleasant breeze.

Hard to imagine Brownwood had it worse than the North Side. Did they forget to extend "The Bubble" that far South?

Has it gone past us yet? Been waiting and watching and nothing much at all, just a drizzle in Bonita

Thumbs up!

Lawn looks better today than it did yesterday. Rather pleasant morning actually.

Doppler weather radar is great -- but it also produces more false alarms than actual events.

True words.

But giving the devil his due...those alarms are what media thrives on.

Took our dog on a short walk when there was a break from the rain. Still quite windy but no debris in the road as far as I could see right around here.

This is Lynnhaven. But, I only saw a little bit of our neighborhood.

Lots of areas of Florida were slammed by Idalia. But we as far as I can tell do not seem to be one of them. No news about the Villages is good news.

There was storm? Where?

Enjoyed my nothing burger. Glad I didn't waste my time buying bottled water, filling my bathtub, gassing up the car and moving everything off of the lanai.

Just some light rain in Lake Denham. Looks like we were spared and I’m thankful for that. Hope the folks up north are all ok.

We don’t have a tub, just a big utility sink, didn’t bother filling it up

Heard from my grandson up near Pensacola. The only difference for him was that it was a lot cooler this morning than yesterday morning.
