Arlene Pisses on Florida & Another Waiting in the Wings

Now we've been hit by our first tropical storm of the season. Doesn't it feel better to get that out of the way? Arlene came ashore near the Florida panhandle on Saturday, drenching the peninsula in rain on her way through.

Check out the image archives on the NHC site to see her final path. She's now a non-event. Just an inland rainmaker.

All we saw here was a strong south wind, which was actually quite nice because it gets blistering hot when the storms blow through. Arlene ruined the scheduled Poker Run (by boat) over the weekend, but that was the sum total of the destruction here.

There is another area of disturbance in the Caribbean now. Some disorganized thunderstorms the talking weather heads say we'll have to look out for. I don't know about anyone else, but this is a little early for me.
