It rained heavily earlier... it's 65°F, very humid, with not the slightest hint of a breeze.... great mosquito weather. 
And mosquitoes mean bats. Had another close encounter when I was spraying my homemade bug spray around the porch... saw it against the still-light sky... and thankfully it sensed me & fluttered away. I hear several of them when I'm outside... that SSST! sound they make seems to come from all directions.
I try to make more noise than usual when I'm out there... shuffle my feet, take loud slurps of beer, clear my throat, plunk the tab on the can a few times....
So far so good. LOL

Another lovely day. 
74° F, mostly sunny, some fluffy clouds passing by, 10 MPH wind, only about 50% humidity even though it rained last night.

Yesterday was OUTSTANDING!!!
I had to shout because I spent a good portion of the day outside. Today is warm but more humid. But I won't complain because Saturday was too cold.

Lots of rain here too. Cold and gloomyLots of rain today and tonight. It's supposed to be nicer tomorrow.
Damn this Irma.
"Quick update on a few things. The island of Barbuda which we mentioned in our morning post and the first to take a direct hit has been out of contact since 2am. We are now getting reports out of that island that confirm the worst, 90-95% of all buildings were destroyed, island was almost completely stripped of all vegetation and according to the Prime Minister is uninhabitable. Our thoughts are with the folks in that island, the three other small islands that today have also taken direct hits with likely similar outcomes today and islands like Puerto Rico taken a near brush with the southern eye wall at this hour.
SE Florida from Miami to North Carolina continue to be the areas of most concern at this hour and anyone with interest or family in this area should be in their final stages of preparation for any worst case scenario that may or may not occur. Let's keep everyone who has faced and continue to face the wrath of this storm in our thoughts tonight."

I have cousins in Naples and they are going to drive up to Orlando and ride out the storm there. I didn't there there was going to be anyplace in Florida that would be safe.
A friend, who lives in Gainesville, is also going to Orlando.
Another family member is riding it out in Miami.
This is crazy. But I'm hearing that by the time it reaches Orlando it could be down to a Category 1. That would be nice.

I'm hoping my brother and his wife will get out of Dodge, but so far they are staying put. They are too close to the Gulf Coast, IMHO. One of my friends who lives in Miami is going to Orlando as well. According to the last prediction I looked at, the storm was going to cover the entire state. It is predicted to be a category 2 when it gets to Orlando, which still isn't good.
I so hope everybody's families and friends will be OK. I hope SB and Chryssie and Jeremy will be OK, too. This is pretty scary.
