Here We Go Again!

/ Marcia Meara / 12 Comments

Tropical Storm Milton is set to become a hurricane and is heading directly toward Florida. It’s predicted to come ashore at Tampa and cross the state …right over US … en route to the Atlantic! If I disappear for a few days, it might be from loss of electricity, depending on how strong the storm is in comparison to our power lines. Urk.

If we do lose power, I’ll touch base with you again just as soon as it’s possible. Fingers crossed Milton loses strength rapidly and doesn’t do too much damage!

See you on the other side. 

Hurricane Elsa Update …

Yep, it looks like Elsa will be a hurricane when it hits Tampa, which means those folks over there could have all kinds of things to deal with, even if it’s a mild hurricane, including possible storm surge, etc. And it definitely means we be getting the outer bands of the storm, so it might get pretty unpleasant over here, too. I’m hoping not, but there’s nothing to do at this point but to wait and see how it plays out. Will get back with you folks on the other side, which could be a day or two if we have much damage or lingering power outages. But I’ll let you know how we fared as soon as I can.

Thanks for understanding why I may not be able to take part in tomorrow’s Ten Things post, but again, I do hope you’ll enjoy it, regardless. And I’ll join in as soon as possible!

Thinking of everyone in the storm’s path, and hoping you ALL stay safe!
