1. Thank you for the heads up!

I need to go out and take in all my lawn furniture and stuff... darn, it's to damned early in the year for this.

[malaise]

7. Not sure I'd move all my lawn furniture for this one

but I 'd probably stay away from the beach and I'd put the backyard BBQ on hold.

[1monster]

11. The map shows winds to be 39 to 74 when it hits here...

I'm bringing in or tying down anything movable. It's just safer that way. I'm two miles as the crow flies from the ocean and I'm four blocks from the Intracoastal Waterway...

[malaise]

12. Makes sense then

Stay safe

[malaise]

17. Smart man

We should all give thanks that Beryl doesn't have time to strengthen. She'll be close to a Cat1 at landfall.

18. Woman. But thank you. As storms go, this one wasn't a bad one.

I was sleeping, with my bedroom windown open (air conditioning broke down -- need an entire new system) and I didn't even wake up when the second half of the storm hit.

So we got some much needed rain, a little wind, and no damage here. A blessing.

19. My bad 1monster

Glad it brought some rain

2. That's a weird track.....

[Lochloosa]

3. This is a baby...for now. I'm right in the path....Jacksonville, FL here

[rppper]

5. Surfs up in Daytona Beach!

Nothing like a nice tropical storm to get the blood flowing! Everyone stay safe!

[FLyellowdog]

10. I have family in Orange Park. Stay safe.

4. A little coastal flooding...maybe.

This one is nothing to worry about and will bring needed rain.

[malaise]

6. This is a big tourist weekend which means there is a lot to worry about

as in big waves and rip tide plus lots of rain.

[Moondog]

8. We could definitely

use the rain.

[RebelOne]

9. I'd almost welcome the wind and rain

to blow away this heat here in Georgia.

13. More predictable than our

SC in-state politics. There is more cahooting and plots against Queen Nikki and others than I can keep up with.

dump truck

I think he is running against DeMinted or maybe 'dump truck.'
Inscrutable.......

[malaise]

14. LOL

I heard Queen Nikki screaming in Wisconsin that she's out to destroy unions.

By the way Beryl is moving WSW this morning at 50mph. She's likely to mess up the holiday weekend.

[Are_grits_groceries]

15. Queen Nikki wants to stay out of SC

as much as possible. She is desperate for some national job. The Ethics Posse in the legislature is hot on her tail. She is threatening retribution by revealing their dirty laundry.
I say Dump Truck!' to all of them.

16. Latest from NOAA - Beryl stronger 65mph
