2021 Hurricane season news and updates

Yeah, we are catching it right now. It's not too bad yet, just dark and rainy. The flooding will be our issue in this storm. Bay County has the worst drainage of any municipality I've ever worked for. 

Glad all ok down there @CaptLewis and just glad Grace didn't run up FL peninsula too although sux she's pounding Haiti so hard with rain. 

Agreed. I hate it for Haiti (no pun intended). I will be here for another day or so then back to South Florida. I'm looking to buy a home in this area for my parents and I, so wish us luck! heh-heh

wait what?! You're moving back up to panhandle area @CaptLewis ?? Sweet :) Good luck, safe travels and all the best to you and your parents.

@JanetLiebsch, yeah, I miss the freedom of living in a Republican ran municipality. Dad is not doing so well and he loves the beach here, so we're moving back.
