allardjd 1,853 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Kid stuff. This one is a pussy cat. The media and government over-dramatize it because they can but it's nothing but a little wind and rain. John Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Damn...40 mph winds. Better zip up the windbreaker John...could get a bit flappy. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 What's a windbreaker? I have vague memories of them from living in Michigan but can't remember the details after fourteen years in Florida. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,310 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 The only people in Florida that hate storms like this are those with toupees and the ones that enjoy them the most are roofers. Stay safe John. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Burial or cremation John? Just kidding, Stay safe! Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 We got about ten minutes of rain from it. As usual, the media hype was an order of magnitude greater than the real thing. John 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
