It's Gordon's Fault

PappyJoe

If I'm offline for a couple of days it will be Gordon's fault - Hurricane Gordon that is. Though we are hoping this storm is a weak and feeble as.... a tropical storm.

Thank you, Thank you, I'll be here all week. Hopefully.

Latest track has the eye of the hurricane making landfall about 45 miles east of me. This is one time I don't matter being on the left.

I hate the winter's here in Indiana, but after watching all the news on the California wildfires, earthquakes, and the annual coastline hurricanes in the Florida, Texas, New Orleans, the Carolinas and several inlet southern states, I'll gladly put up with the occasional muggy hot summer days and brutally cold, snowy winters. I guess it's all a matter of where you grew-up and what you consider normal seasonal weather.

@PappyJoe, Hope you are safe and sound, let us know your situation.

Yes,@PappyJoe, hope all is well.

All good here. The storm never intensified to hurricane strength and went in closer to the Alabama border then expected. Keep the prayers going for those still in the path of the storm as it moves further north. These storms can generate tornadoes.

Glad you made it through the brunt of the storm @PappyJoe . I hope that all remains clear and that you stay safe.

We’re getting the remnants of Gordon in NE Ohio on Sunday through Monday.

PappyJoe

Yeah, it seems to be lingering.
