Ernest Goes To Florida: your reaction

17 years ago

So as of 11AM today, Ernesto's center of circulation is forcasted to be over my front yard on Thursday morning... yet somehow I am not panicking or slapping plywood on my house.

My home and garden have weathered some pretty severe thunderstorms and all the hurricanes in recent years with little to no damage. So I suppose I am smug and overconfident.

Anyways,

How do things look from your angle?

Just in case this is considered to be "Off Topic" by the authorities, a similar thread has been started on the Conversation page. I just checked again and actually there are a couple threads on it now over there. Check them out.

DH and I decided not to board up this storm. We went through Frances, Jeanne and Wilma (Wilma the worst) and did board up for those. This is a tropical storm and hopefully it will weaken even further once it hits land.

It's just a TS, and it will be weakened by half the length of Florida before it gets here. I'm stocking movies and booze and hoping to snag a free day off work. I LIKE tropical storms. They cool things off and give us much needed rain, and adventure.

Just got a strong gust of rain here, but it has been fairly mellow so far. I even walked around the neighborhood this afternoon. I'm wondering if we'll even have the day off work tomorrow since it didn't end up so bad.

That's what I'm thinking, Mistiaggie. I was hoping to get the 31st off, but I'm betting not.

Work was just cancelled for me tomorrow! Woo hoo! Just like a blizzard party! Thanks Ernesto!

I would not be saying that if I thought this was going to be a dangerous storm but it doesn't look like it is. If I'm wrong, then I apologize in advance for my comments. But for right now: woo hoo!

It's raining lightly on the Treasure Coast. I'm working tomorrow, although I don't think people will be picking up their bikes!

Heard on the news this morning that Ernesto was a busto. That's good news for all of us here. We've been getting some rain and some gusting wind, they say we're supposed to get really heavy rains and stronger winds as the day heads toward noontime. We'll see. I don't have to work today which is rather nice. I did work until 3 yesterday, leaving after the UPS guy delivered something we were expecting.

Hope everyone is safe and having a nice quiet downtime at home. Our gardens are getting watered and tomorrow is another day.

Ernesto busto? LOL! But thank heavens, right? We are just getting a lot of rain (no wind to speak of, yet) and it is kinda dark and gloomy too. Let's all hope this is the only storm we see this season. :-)
