When it rains it pours... my brother's roof is leaking into his family room in North Miami Beach from all the rain.

My youngest son decided to drive with his best friend up to Gainesville to help a friend move and to spend Shabbos there . . .  of course am sure driving through the Tropical Storm added some charm to it. He has APPS..links and is sending me pictures. No words except ...yeah...uh huh...

Now you know how it looks from down below......... that is that line that just went thru fast in PSL.

Now the focus moves up the coast as Andrea zoom, zooms her way on her incredible road trip up I95.

A tornado touched down near St. Marys on the FL/GA line.

Mid to late morning it should be HERE in Raleigh...... possible gusts up to 45 mph

(watching local weather now.. I better get some wind... some...)

Bonus pic of me and my youngest son when he was younger... 

now he's driving with his friends up to UF... 

Anyway...am sure he is okay.

Okay.. maybe not... sorry if I am distracted and giggling sickly while writing this post..

Great link for severe weather in your area associated with Andrea.

Currently under a Flash Flood Alert in my area.. might go shopping quick tonight rather than tomorrow.

If you are in this cone pay attention and take it seriously... she has a history of 

producing severe weather and tornadoes

and flash flooding.

I'll be back later with updates on some of the damage reports and some advice and information

on Andreas future track and any changes to the track.
