Iām heading to my place by Tallahassee. It looks to be better farther north and well inland obviously. Iāll go up tonight. People in The Villages where Iāve been working are going full on stupid crazy already. Dumb northernersā¦,ā¦lol

Euro takes it right at (maybe a tad south) L Okeechobee and then does a hard right turn over FLorida and goes right thru the middle of the state northwardā¦ maybe landfall Wpalm beach or somewhere in that regionā¦
I havenāt ran the AC in close to a week. Amazing that it was almost cold last night sleeping. Winds h owling again today but back out of the southā¦clouds looking like rain but radar empty locallyā¦ One of the strangest/coolest/cloudiest Augustās in my recent memory. Reminds me a lot of August of '97ā¦there was also an August in 03 or 2004 ish that i remember seeing frost on the 25th.

That would be interesting, Luisport.
I doubt that trackā¦but we shall seeā¦Monday is a ways out, and they arenāt even good with 24 hours ahead!
(As I posted somewhere, a couple days agoā¦might be a 90 mph stormā¦or twice that. But it doesnāt look good for Florida!)

Having thankfully dodged Dorian, we were blessed with a gorgeous sunset yesterday.
while we were lucky, I know a lot of folks up in the Carolinas got slammedā¦hopefully anyone among the growing fruit community that was in path is safe.

Iāve always been interested in weather, but I think as you get older you get āmoreā interestedā¦Found myself looking at personal weather stations but never pulled the trigger. I think Iām finally ready. Was eyeing this one in particularā¦ambient weather ws-2902, seems to have really good reviews.
Mainly Iād like to be able to link up to weatherunderground and also see what the weather is doing at my house when Iām away and track historical data. This unit looks like it can do all of that right out of the box for a pretty reasonable priceā¦I recall there was a thread on this topic, but couldnāt find itā¦if someone can point me in that direction Iāll move this post over there. Thoughts?

My thoughts are that every time a new weather station hooks up with Weather Channel or Weather Undergroundā¦it give them that many more āRECORD HIGHSā for the current year!
(They donāt tell you that the 114 old standby stations of NOAA show there is no temperature increase in the US in the past 15 years!)

Here is a picture of the outer edge crossing over us Wednesday evening. The worst was Thursday morning but it was not bad and we had little damage.

Pretty excited, got my weather station up and running yesterday. Once I found a good location, the rest was easy. Able to report in real-time on Weather Underground and Ambient weatherā¦

We still have not had a decent rain in over a month. I few sprinkles here and there. The ground is as hard as cement. Not a downpour just a slow steady rain. Nothing is site for the next 10 days.

I am watering twice a week. So far lost about 5, or said another way, about 3%, of my container trees at this juncture. Only 2 to 2.5 inches rain since Week of July 4th.
Seedling pawpaws seem unusually able to hang in under dried out conditions.
And one 3 year old I thought had died from lack of waterā¦put out new growth when I soaked it good. So, itās apples, plus a few other, that Iām having a time with keeping wet under these conditions.
(And we were waay ahead for the year up until thenā¦the āspigotā got turned off.)
Last year I didnāt have to water hardly at all. We got about 80 inches last year.

I think we have had just about as much rain as you have had. Not much at all. I am on a well so I cannot water as much as I would like to. I have enough to use inside my house and that is about all. We REALLY need rain, a day or two of a slow steady rain.
We were way ahead of last year, even more than about 20 years of rain up until about the end of June. Like you said, the spigot just got turned off.
