Not sure Bushy, Dallan should be able to tell. My heart goes out to all that have suffered with Irma blasting through. Not just in Florida, but also the Caribbean island communities that have been destroyed.

She (Irma) was certainly a nasty piece of work...no two ways about that. I see the looters have started hitting the electronics stores in Florida...no prizes for guessing the ethnic group involved. burr

I dont have an easy way to tell.

Seems most of the US is in some form of trouble. Flooding / Hurricanes in the south, major wildfires in the north west... its been crazy smokey in my state from all the surroundign fires. We have one large instate fire thats been burning for a few weeks now.

Good luck to everyone in troubled areas... to everyone else, make sure you keep minimal supplies on hand for natural disasters. There is armed fighting in the Caribbean right now because all the food is exhausted.

We got prepped for Irma and ended up with a nice breeze and a fairly light, steady rain for a couple days. Now I'm watching Jose but it appears that it will stay offshore.

I looked when the wind started getting up a little here and the eye of Irma was something like 470 miles away. Massive storm!

Shoot!! All I got from Irma was cooler temperatures and cloudy. Could have used some of that rain here.

Careful what you wish for Bushy.
Last time we had a cyclone turn into a tropical depression we got floods.
Would be nice if the weather listened to my doctor, "moderation in all things".

I'm high enough up on a small ridge that when it floods Noah requests permision to birth his ark next to my horse trailer.
