West Palm Beach: 1045
The Great Omnipotent One is posting this for me. I don’t have internet access as my ISP is down, although I still do have power.
I was joined in my bed by son #3 about one AM, as he could hear the winds whipping around the house. We were getting more intense feeder bands every hour to hour and a half starting around midnight.
I have to say, Jim Cantors has lost his luster. As a matter of fact, I’m starting to hate the entire weather channel staff. I hate the music. I hate that light blue color. And that guy standing off Juno Beach is a dork. I question his IQ at this point. As Laughing Wolf said in one of my comments, “Let’s see if one of those guys gets blown away, and then we’ll see how much their cameraman really likes them.”
No matter who takes the direct hit, we’re getting a grunch of rain, and we’re already getting the wind. I went outside to take in my neighbor’s recycle bins about two hours ago. They took the bins outside and then evacuated. What were they thinking? Anyway, I heard this high pitched noise… very odd. I listened closer and realized it was all the birds in the area in a high-pitched hysteria. I thought animals and birds had a sixth sense for this stuff. It’s a bit late for them to go west now. They’re toast. I’m going to be really unhappy if I find little bird bodies all over my yard tomorrow. We’ve already lost one tree.
We’re secure here now. I gave the kids their last shower (TGOO’s note: she hosed down the rolling ball of noise.) in case we lose power, and the tub and washing machine are filled with water.
I’m over shrimp and chocolate chip cookies, by the way. The rest of my shrimp can go bad, I don’t care. I’m not eating anymore.
And FYI Juno Beach is about 15-20 miles northeast of me. Jupiter Beach Inlet is just north of it. North Palm Beach is 10-15 directly east. Palm Beach Gardens is five miles east. The Intracoastal Waterway runs between NPB and PBG. This is just in case you hear of any of these places on the news.
