It looks like it is going to be a beautiful, hot day today! But there is trouble brewing in the Gulf again! Rain expected tomorrow and most of next week.
I have a friend in Hudson FL...she has so much damage to her home. I can't even believe it. So sad.

My sister's in-laws in NC about an hour or so from Asheville still have no power. They were able to get the 8 inches of water out of their basement with the help of a restaurant across the street lending them power from their generator. I guess they sucked it out somehow. Cami told Lynda there has been little help to their area. West Jefferson is the name of the small town.
It's too hot today 
I want my October back.

For quite some time, I've been thinking about moving to the Southeast, although not in the near future. I can handle hot, humid summer weather more easily than cold, dark winters; my two trips to Florida were in June!!!! But these floods... I can't really imagine having to wade through water in the first floor of my house, let alone having to either swim or wait for a boat to rescue me if I try to step outside.

It does not flood everywhere but if you choose to live very near the coast, it would be a risk. Florida is also very low and flat and some areas especially near any rivers or bodies of water are prone to flooding. I live 30 miles from the coast and on a hill so no flooding here! Also depends on how well your city's drainage system is maintained.

Hurricane Milton is on his way! Let the panic begin! Skye posted that shelves were already empty of water at Walmart yesterday. I do not panic.

Well, the panic is in full swing already. Usually when I go to the store before 8 AM, it is nice and quiet and not busy. Today the parking lot was full and by the time I left with my few things, nearly all the carts were gone.

Too early to tell exactly what Milton is going to do. SB being on the West coast is in more danger than I am but if it tracks straight across, we will get some nasty weather here as well.

We have been in a heatwave - some record setting temperatures.
The 49ers played in the hottest temps at Levi's.
Normally when it gets hot like this it doesn't last more than 3 days - then the maritime fog and wind starts.
but this has been 7 days. San Jose has had 7 days of high 90s. A few times it went over 100. Yesterday it was 99 here.
I have sort of plan to deal with hot days. But it's been so hot, my plan hasn't quite worked.
I'll usually get flushed out of in the late part of the afternoon and go the library till it closes and then go home and open the blinds and windows, and turn on the fans. It usually take about 2 hours to cool off. But I've been flushed out earlier and had to say out later.
Yesterday it being Sunday, the local branch which I can walk to, is closed. So I drove to the Main Library. Hadn't had to do that this year. And I'm glad I did. I like my little local library but the main library is really excellent. They used to have a coffee shop inside but I discovered that sometime since the last time I was there it's closed.
Anyway, came home from the library, turned on the fans and went down to the pool. but even after 3 hours it hadn't cooled off. Even now it's not that cool.
But the weather man assures me today won't be so hot.

My stepdaughter lives near Sacramento and has been complaining about the oppressive heat. I would die if I lived there lol.
I hope all our Florida friends will be OK. Stay safe, you guys.
It is 20 degrees here today. Very warm for the time of year.
