Fooling around on the stormcarib page, usually nothing much going on until June as for weather statements but this just came out at 4 p.m. It has nothing to do with our area, but it's pretty interesting, and could make for some wooly weather in the area they are discussing.

| Does this sound familiar - "I just wish it would bring us some rain." And quit fanning the fires, for that matter. We're at 10 inches below normal, and no spring rains to show for it. I'm hoofing it down the hill every day to water my 'maters. . .

Well, as noted by our admin, subtropical storm Andrea is here. Hopefully it will give some rain to the drought areas, but it isn't expected to be much of a rain storm, unfortunately. It is causing a lot of erosion along the coasts however. They just don't make storms to order, no matter how much we want that.
The fire/smoke situation in South Fla is bad, making driving hazardous. High winds aren't helping...
Let's see, we're not half-way into May and have our first named storm. If this is not a wake up call for anyone not prepared yet for the coming season that is suddenly not up ahead but NOW, it should be.
In case you need some reminders, or have never had to prepare before, here is a good starter list that can be added to with your own personal needs and wants adjusted in. Think about how you will cook food (it's the dumb stuff like forgotten can openers that make the difference), clean yourselves, etc. Common sense ain't always so common...
