Re: I Never Sleep Well Before A Storm

Yeah, this one was pretty boring which is always a good thing. The "M" named hurricanes have historically been the worst for this area, and this last one was "L", so I'm very skeptical of what's in...

Re: I Never Sleep Well Before A Storm

I can only talk about where I am in particular, and at least here although the forecasting is far from dead-on it's certainly enough that I can tell what's going on every few hours. It's not going to...

Re: I Never Sleep Well Before A Storm

Re: I Never Sleep Well Before A Storm
