[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Are you kidding me?? It looks like a tropical storm outside my window. I have gusts reaching 55 mph and the rain is coming like there is no tomorrow!!!

EDIT: I just had a lightning that scared the poop outta me. I love the "crack" of lightning though, sounds coool!

LOL. Yea I saw those winds come through it looked like a tropical storm

Talk about a slap in the face when you walk outside this morning...

yea I know. I went out last night and it was damp, but mostly warm. This morning I have a sweatshirt on (with shorts ). It is still very windy, and cool. Last I looked, the temp was falling already. I'll have to run over to the weather lab here at school to get the temp here.

[feederband]

I officially got .8" of rain here.

I had a fraction under a inch in the old rain gauge...I looked around at some of the others in the area and they didn't get a half a inch...Know how that goes..

[feederband]

Just as long as the breeze stays in there...My palm trees took a beating on that last cold spell...Grass is still green though..Which has never happened this long into the cold spell season..
