Hope that everyone is ok, we had some major lightening and winds here in Ocala... A few branches in the road, but everything seems ok.
Makes you think hurricane preparedness....

Hope everyone else is as good

Yea we're getting our fair share here in NSB too. It's knocking down all the older limbs from trees... makes me happy I have a Jeep instead of a VW.

Ocalaalways seems to get b**** slapped when it comes to storms. Hope all is well with you over there.

It's been clouding up every day to the West, but the storms seem to pass to the North. We did get some pretty good rain yesterday and this afternoon. Looks like more is coming our way.

Bonus S and rain...guess what I'm doing AGAIN this weekend!

And if you leave the map running, it will automatically update itself.

I have that same map as a widget on my mac's dashboard and it's awesome. It lets you see the radar in a loop so you can see the storms/hurricanes blow through.

Yup. I have a laptop/battery backup for the modem, so, during the last hurricane, I actually sat and watched it through the windows, and on the computer. It is fun and really scary at the same time... Glad we finally got new hurricane windows last year!
