Only got 0.5" of rain in Calumet Grove. Was hoping for more.

I'm glad I'm not one of those kinds of people who wait til the day before a hurricane to stock up on water, batteries, etc. I buy batteries randomly when there's a sale, after checking to see if any I already have are near their expiration date. I buy water every month - in jugs and 16.9-oz bottle cases. I figure since the tap water isn't fluoridated anyway, there's no need for me to endure the nasty taste and texture of Florida tap water (yes, we have a filter. Yes, it still tastes like old egg-swamp). So we keep spring water in the house year-round.
As for how we fared - I counted THREE leaves stripped off my lemon tree. I'm truly heartbroken. I let them fly free, because this is the Freedom state and they deserved to die with dignity. |

Friends have a place in Cedar Key.. They arrived last night, happy TV was spared, so they have a dry place to stay.

Santiago looks fine. No issues here. Arby’s and McDonald’s weren’t open at noon. KFC was open, as was Hobby Lobby.

Light rain and light wind intermittently since last night. Power and internet was still on when I woke up. Streets were obviously wet but not flooded. Enjoyed a morning walk at 10:30 am. Got sprinkled a bit then it stopped. Ponds could use at least a foot or 2 more. It hit our village harder last year since it was closer.

Did they fly or drive down ? Just wondered, looks like last night I-75 was completely flooded and closed. Were they caught up in that ? HAD reservations for seafood festival on the island in Oct. Was so looking forward to it after the covid hiatus ! Your friend surely have a challenge ahead getting their place livable again. Prayers for them.

Poland Spring. It's collected and bottled from several natural springs in Maine. I used to be able to get it at Staples by the case, but they only sell the brand's sparkling water, which I don't drink at all. So I get it from BJ's instead. And then for the jugs, I get it by the gallon at Walmart. Pretty sure it comes from the springs in Zephyrhills. It's not as crisp as Poland Spring but it's still better than Florida Tapwater.

Country Club Hills. Mild storm, not very much rain or wind. We've seen worse thunderstorms.
