In case anybody is curious, here's what's going on in my area.
The outer edge of Frances is approaching our area now. This is a slow moving storm as you all know. We expect it to get kind of messy. But won't be as destructive as Charlie was a couple of weeks ago.
Here's a house with a tree in the living room. This is on my block, just around the corner from my house.

Here's a website that monitors wind conditions down at Boca Ciega Bay where we sail. This is a really good amateur weather website that monitors high wind conditions in our area...

It's starting to get WINDY!
The heaviest part of the storm has not yet reached us. But we should be fine. I have a generator and plenty of supplies. So I think we'll be alright.
This one doesn't have the power of Charlie. I went down to give some assistance after Charlie - it's a war zone. The pictures you see on the news don't do it justice. So this one could have been a lot worse.
The wind is howling like crazy and the house is creaking. We're in for a ride.
Take care.
