Twenty years after Andrew, I am sure a few people in the Homestead area are not too happy with this sight. At least they're only talking Cat 1Thumb of 2012-08-22/Dutchlady1/5156a1

They say if it goes over the mountains in Cuba that it may break it up or disorganize it. We'll see. I was going to run down to Port Charlotte on Saturday but I'm not going anywhere near the Skyway if the wind is up.

It won't be near Port Charlotte yet on Saturday; we're talking Sunday/Monday before it reaches Florida.

True but it sometimes sends advance winds days ahead of time.

the 2 pm update. My feeling is that after Friday/Saturday we will know a lot more. The interaction with Hispaniola and Cuba can do a lot to this storm... and we won't know what....until it's happened.Thumb of 2012-08-23/Dutchlady1/870fbd

That's good. I've already decided to keep my plans for Port Charlotte tomorrow.

Spaghetti tracks this time. Everyone seems to agree that Isaac will stay offshore until it gets to the panhandle. It'll just be lousy weather along the whole west coast.
I'm still not getting excited OR relaxed until it passes Cuba.Thumb of 2012-08-24/Dutchlady1/d789d6

The latest advisory makes me less happy. They are now predicting Isaac to spend less time over Cuba, so it will be making a beeline for Florida. Mind you - it's still only a Tropical Storm when it passes us... but it'll be a few miserable days weather-wise I am sure.Thumb of 2012-08-24/Dutchlady1/912dda

I'm going to take advantage of a few days of rain and cool coming with the storm.

Planting out some seedlings I've been nurturing through the summer.

And Florida dodges another one. Good for us, bad for others. Still a few months to go yet & September is usually a bear.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
