Updated 1 PM - Iowa Flooding, Tornadoes and Tropical Disturbances....Must be May. Will Update Throughout the Day
Seems the Tropical Disturbance is doing lunch on South Beach.
Low chances but hey it's hanging out.
Note the BIG weather is in the Dixie Alley.
Flooding problems going to linger with that set up.
Also it's snowing up north so... snow melt adds to the flooding.
Miami Bimini Tropical Disturbance 10%
It's there just not something to worry on.
But it should be a reminder... it's May.
So I'm going to put this out there for you to see.
The real threat for strong weather is in the Plains.
Southern Plains to be exact.
More so flooding in Iowa....
...and that will in time move down the rivers.
Flooding is going to remain a problem for some time.
Add Twisters into that mix you have trouble.
And yes we have an area we are watching.
Something is off the Florida coast.
It will move up along the coast.
There is a brief window for development of some kind.
DaBuh explains this well.
It's that time of year.
But whatever it is...
...it is small in comparison.
A reminder....
Like that song.
Someone is knocking...
Hurricane Season is knocking.
I'll update later as models do their thing... or not.
As things develop or not.
Now is the time to watch for SALES.
When Hurricane Supplies go on SALE....
...BUY THEM ON SALE.
Stock them up as best as you can.
It will help later in the year.
Because trust me someone is knocking...
Many someones.
These are some of the names that will be knocking.
Put the weather in motion...
There is something down there ... a tropical reminder.
What should you do?
Best thing you can do is get a plan.
Begin buying hurricane supplies.
And if you live where weather is flaring up today.
Why Deal With Winter? Move South Even IF Just For The Winter.... Carolina is Good... Snows and Then Melts Fast. South Florida Truly Paradise. Live Like It's Margaritaville ALL The Time!
Just why?
I don't get why people live there.
I've been to Boston (in the summer)
Even August can be cold!
But in the winter?
Granted my Great, Great Grandparents came from over there, up north where it was cold all the time even in the summer (by Florida standards) and dealt with winter for a good part of the year. But over time we evolved, migrated and some distant relative heard about a "beautiful place after a long sea voyage" and he docked in Key West and found it good and put down roots. He opened a tinware shop, dabbled in tobacco and invested in Real Estate. Several generations later my son sells Real Estate in places that truly look as if they came from a magazine touting the beauty of the Garden of Eden. I mean look at this picture below. You could be lying on that chase lounge feeling the rays of the sun (with sun screen of course) listening to the gulls circling high up above with a view worth every dollar you spend. Why do people live where winter can last more than the three calendar months?
Dig out, get your power back and find a place in paradise. Even if it's just for the winter... seriously the only people who should be out in a Nor'Easter are people being paid to who work for The Weather Channel!
Besos BobbiStorm.
Ps... On any given day my other son Moe and his wife and baby are having breakfast here in Hollywood Florida. They get in the car ...drive around the block (hang left at Hollywood Blvd) and order coffee and breakfast with a view. This can be your view....
