Really? With his overblown dramatics, I always thought it meant that nothing would happen!

I'm a Floridian, back in my hometown after living in Texas for the better part of 20 years (Love you, Texas!) and the last horrible hurricane we had in my neck of the woods (Jacksonville) was in 1964, when Dora visited. We get big rains and some wind, but it's not ever been nearly what I went through with tornado season in Texas.

Something's a brewin' southeast of the Carribean. Good thing I'm here in Puerto Rico, in the probable path.
