2. I'm About Fifty Miles From Where It's Supposed To Be

and it's partly cloudy...

4. Could you send some of that rain up to Pasco?

The last couple of days in Holiday, we've only had a few sprinkles. I haven't mowed my lawn for a month. We had a good breeze yesterday. I even turned off the AC and opened some windows for a change.

6. LOL! I am in Pasco

Land O Lakes to be exact. It has been on-and-off drizzling for two days w/occasional heavy rain.

3. If this turns into a Hurricane, I can hear it now.

Hurricane Tammy packs a whammy on the (fill in the blank) coast.

5. Flew into that mess returning to Florida last night

Of course it was just a low then, but that didn't make the ride any more fun. Everything is always fine from SC to the northeast, but both ways every time it's painful getting past FL and the GA coast.

7. I looked at the NHC last night

and the only disturbance was Stan.
Where did Tammy come from?

8. a visual

There's a bunch of "red-junk" just east of puerto rico,..let's hope that stays disorganized
