Just when you thought we could breath a sigh of relief that we had escaped hurricane season 2009 totally unscathed, Ms. Ida popped up on the radar and has her sights set on our coast.
Thankfully, as of this posting, Ida has been downgraded to Tropical Storm status and the only ones I can see who are visibility excited are the good folks on The Weather Channel (this IS what they live for, right??). Looks like it will be a pretty uneventful landfall - some rain ... some wind ... maybe a power outage here and there and hopefully not too much beach erosion. {{breath out}}
To help you stay abreast of what is happening, here are some links I prefer to visit when we go through the hurricane drill. (*FYI* These links are permanently located on the Nature + Outdoor Scene page here on SouthWaltonScene.com). Tropical Storm or not, be safe out there today, folks. Have a link you like?
