There's a booming dark thunder cloud just north of Sanibel like the roiling cloud a UFO is hiding in in the movies.
We had a bullet rain downpour for 2 minutes an hour ago and now dry.
Hot and humid with blustery east breezes.
Have to force myself off the computer to do some better-safe-than-sorry preparations. (Very difficult with so much going on) Dennis is dangerous because an unexpected north turn leaves us little time in front of a dangerous storm...

Gas is all but gone. The very few places that still have gas have block long lines. Ice is very hard to find. Traffic heading out of town is very heavy. Reports are coming in that I-65 is begining to backup (they need to open all four lanes for north bound traffic asap) Weather is hot, but skies are clear so people have good weather to prepare.
