Tropical Storm Watch Issued For South Florida

Officially from NHC advisory...sort of says it all:

At 11 PM EDT... 0300z... a tropical storm watch has been issued for
portions of the East Coast of Florida and the Florida Keys from
west of the Seven Mile Bridge northward to Vero Beach. A tropical
storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area...generally within 36 hours.

So...we sit and we wait for Katrina to be born... figuring here that this is Katrina and she won't collapse over night.

Have not much to add other than anything could happen. She could muddle around out there, move in slowly.. dump lots of rain and cause severe localized flooding or she could ramp up into a Cat 1 Hurricane just before landfall.

The proof is in the pudding and the pudding is not being made until later tomorrow morning. Til then we don't know what we have and we are waiting to find out.

As for me.. well, not panicking. Barely going to do much.. buy some soda, graham crackers, rice cakes, pnut butter and let her blow.. sit back and watch. No energy to do much else and for now.. want to enjoy it all a bit... if it gets its act together faster rather than later.. will ramp up those plans a bit.

For now... we have a Tropical Storm Watch.

Katrina simmering around like a good Jambalya Stew..

On a personal note.. my brother was in Hallandale this morning working and he got into TWO car accidents..he is fine. His car isn't and imagine he will end up feeling like he was in 2 car accidents tomorrow. Some 98 year old lady hit him in the trunk on the side (no Neil Rogers jokes) and then an hour or two later some big dude in a big Mercedes slammed into him and told the cop a piece of paper fell out of the visor temporarily blinding him and totally smashing the whole rear end of his small car. He is fine..says he is. Didn't get tickets.. But, just goes to show you .. you wake up one morning and think it will be a normal, perfect day.. or crummy day..regular day and then all hell breaks loose and well... you never know how tomorrow will end up so you better enjoy today.. while you can. Makes you think, doesn't it? Crazy... Best friend said sounds like Hallandale has bad vibes and might get the center (if we ever find it) of Katrina.. Butterfly wings theory.
