Fred, Grace and Henri



It is a combination of rainy and hurricane seasons which means hot, humid and wet days. For a week Fred, first a storm, then a tropical storm and maybe when it gets to Florida a hurricane. It was supposed to hit sometime over the weekend and everyone got prepared. Friday came and a little shower in the morning (well, someone told me as I sleep in the mornings!), Saturday came and went and on Sunday there was talk of another system in the Atlantic and it would be called Grace and possibly head to Florida.


On Monday it seems that Hurricane and/or Tropical storm Fred decided that they didn't want to stop in Fort Lauderdale and went into the gulf and turned north heading for the northwest coast of Florida and going through Louisiana up through the Carolinas. Instead we were presented with Grace and Henri with the latter going towards Bermuda and then north over water but Grace might be a threat to Fort Lauderdale.


On the 6 PM news Bette Davis shows Grace going south of us and I looked out the window, the sun was shining a group of gliders and canoes was going by so, even though I know the weather here from now until November can change on a dime, I decided to just sit back, relax and maybe, just maybe, plan a walk tomorrow!

When I saw the title of this article, I thought it was going to be about some new Netflix offering. I subscribe to an email list serve about tropical storms in the Atlantic just to keep track of what's going on there in Fort Lauderdale. Haven't been reading them lately - I'll start paying more attention.

They all missed us--not even rain!
