Big rain event basically. Hope DCS has good drainage and is somewhat dry by Saturday.

Yep dissipated. There are still some interesting things going on in the tropical pacific. I have been posting some mini updates on my fb tropical page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tropicalweathernet/120578244647095?ref=hl

On another note, IPF is going to come in handy

Erika has officially been downgraded. Possible regeneration in the Gulf, but not likely.

Hope everyone enjoys their surplus supplies.

Was all the worrying when it was still over 1,000 miles away worth it? Smh

Some say, economists exist to make weathermen look good.

Now what the hell am I supposed to do with 28 gallons of bottled water and 3 dozen jars of peanut butter?

Don't blame the Hurricane Center. They never issued any watches for the state of Florida. It was the media that went crazy.

Just saw the local news clowns telling us with great excitement about the "ravages" of Erika.....some trailer park had rain-related "flooding issues" (a drainage problem, really, since they built it in a swamp), and another neighborhood had a tree down!! Oh, the horrors of it all. Then they breathlessly announced that yet another weather system is developing off the African coast!!!

Local TV seems like one of those gigs that might be fun for 60-90 days......at some point, however, reading the police blotter, covering city council meetings, and drumming up weather crises would get boring, it seems to me.
