I'll tell ya, yesterday's weather sure had that pre-hurricane feel that I remember - real humid and still with virtually no breeze...

If you start to notice very few birds of any kind around, it's time to start paying attention big time...

Maybe time to go to DefCon 1 - I'll have to run it by the Chief of Naval Operations as soon as she wakes up

This has a 1996 feel to it, warm, hot and storms passing offshore, making lots of good surf!

This is why I said I won't start worrying about this until tomorrow.

I remember the 90s near miss--it veered unexpectedly out to sea at the last minute. When we were still in its bullseye, the air had a heavy, metallic feel to it that you could almost taste.
