Grace looks ominous right now.

We're getting a new roof in the next few weeks (hopefully). Fingers crossed that we can get it done before the worst of the season.

Fred looks like Alabama and Grace looks like Florida but it's early days for soon to be Grace.
Conditions are sparing us the worst.

The biggest question concerning TD 7’s intensity is whether or not it will hit Hispaniola and get shredded by the island’s high mountains, as happened to Tropical Storm Fred. If TD 7 avoids significant interaction with Hispaniola, intensification into a hurricane by early next week is quite possible. Current forecasts carry TD 7 close to Hispaniola, though, and the National Hurricane Center is forecasting a peak intensity of 50 mph over the next five days. The next name on the Atlantic list is Grace.

I am a little north of the panhandle, so it gets more nerve wracking every year. My NOAA ap paid for itself from the second I installed it -- still, having good information from different sources well beforehand helps a lot. 🌻

SW Florida looks good for just some wind n rain..just like afternoon storms. Hopefully, it doesn’t wobble east. Stay safe out there
