With Dolly, Cristobal and a "well defined" system rolling off Africa, as well as the remnants of Bertha blowing around, July has been a busy month early in the season.
The officials in Texas are up and ready, calling for preps to be completed, as whatever Dolly does, evacuations can and have been nightmarish up and down that coast, and there really won't be time to do much once landfall is determined.
I grew up on the east coast of Florida and I don't remember evacuation being a word we ever brought up until I was in my late teens (I do remember "fill the tub"), when those little blue signs popped up here and there up and down A1A. I have no idea where they all led to, but apparently off our barrier island to some mainland place. It makes me glad we don't have those choices here, but rather, who has the strongest house and how many Tupperware tubs do I need?
This morning is calmly bright and beautiful, but the heat is already sucking away the coolness of the night.
Slightly after dawn over the bay...

| Looks like an unruly parade. Hopefully that's better than the conga line we saw a few years ago.

Glad to see it is already north of 15 degrees, I take that as a good sign for us here in Culebra

This one looks pretty safe for us, Abe  Looked much more worrisome earlier, but as so many systems coming off Africa's coast do, this one, hopefully, is a not to worry one.
Doesn't mean stop watching it, natch!
Remember the watchwords (at least mine) are: Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, enjoy life in the meantime...or something like that.
Here is something of a diversion...Olivia turned one on Sunday! Time flies...(hey!!! look at the BABY!!! I saw that!)
