Has anyone seen my hoodie?

Cool weather coming months early! High of 69 tomorrow - what's up with this??? Fingers crossed for all in northeast who wish a lost hoodie was all they had to worry about...

Sandy

Stay safe, one and all. The Space Coast has dodged another one. So many close shaves....beach clean-ups this weekend should yield lots of interesting stuff. One year I found a VCR buried in the sand by PAFB after a storm. IV bags, bottles with Spanish labels, shoes galore, and once a briefcase! Please come help! Baby turtles are going to be washed out to sea!

Isaac go home

Isaac, get your tail out of here, please! We don't need no stinkin monsoons!!

If this is the outer bands, imagine the inner bands!

Surfers: get up and give your knees a rest now and them, okay? 

Resources you can use!!!!!

It could be worse

It could be the dream vacation you've spend years saving up for. You could have extended yourself by booking a suite instead of a room. It could be the only week off you'll get this year. You could have packed 12 swimsuits but no windbreaker. You laughed when someone suggested an umbrella. It could be worse.

And so it begins

The annual weather frenzy has begun. Environmentalists wish for little erosion. Surfers wish for big waves. Insurance companies wish for a bye so they can continue to horde our money. Home Depot & Lowe's get their generators out of the back room. Wal-Mart builds walls of batteries and makes sure they are right at the entrance. The lucky people that live on the beach cross their fingers. Welcome to hurricane season. Great article with handy resources can be found here.

Welcome to Florida - 88 degrees and perfect beach day on Sunday (Jan 1). 38 degrees and NOT quite perfect on Tuesday (Jan 3). Welcome to Florida!!

Surrounded

Ah, but the good news is that the colors are not red and orange! Yet. And the even better news is highs in the 70's and lows in the 50's. Water will feel warm, a.c. can be turned off, and all the stuff happening outdoors this week-end will be safe!
