I was in Melbourne this week house hunting with the wife. We we originally scheduled to leave today but we were able to get a flight back a day early. I am very thankful we were able to do that.

I hope everyone in the path of the storm is safe.

here in NW Alachua Co. we just lost power for 5 minutes... but that happens to us on a clear sunny day for no apparent reason. No real sustained wind but kinda gusty and changing direction, just a steady drizzle of rain.

I agree - the newscasters seemed disappointed there was not much mayhem to report on this morning

That is the effect of having 24/ news. There needs to be news, there needs to be a desire to watch that news, what better than getting some drama going? After all "if it bleeds it leads" has been a known "fact" for long time.... The 24/7 news and the multitude of providers/collators/distributers make them clamor for their fractional slice of the pie.

Damn, hurricane Mathew just trashed my backyard!
















"Hurricane Mathew" was very exaggerated.

My daughter lives in Kissimmee and said the exact same thing when I called her this morning Yesterday morning her and her friends were seriously considering leaving town due to the non-stop barrage of 'you're going to die' from the media.

Parts of St. Augustine are under water I guess. What a shame. Such a beautiful town.
