Default Jax Fl area

Has everyone batten down the hatches for the breeze we are going to get? How about for the water?

Once Beryl gets into town it's still s'posed to be 40 MPH and in excess of 6" of rain.

Yes, I know all of y'all in the more southern parts of the state have been thru worse, but this is Jax after all. We don't usually get this kind of excitement.

To be truthfull this isn't going to be much worse than the typical nor'easter, but this has a name...

Being a named storm means that you are entitled to throw a Storm Party.
Beyond that, this doesn't amount to much more that a typical FL summer thunderstorm except that it will last longer.

A few years ago we had an out of season TS blow thru. I recorded a 79 MPH gust, but it could have been higher cause it broke the mast my weather equipment was on. I don't think this'll be any worse. Darn it...

As soon as the wind dies down, pack your bike and get ready to ride.
Looks like the Zombie Apocalypse has started and is headed your way.

I knew a girl named Beryl and she was better than 40mph, especially when she woke you up in the am for a little fun.

We r up at our daytona place for the long weekend, went over to Gainesville and Ocala HD earlier today, really would have liked to known that gator HD was closed today unlike every other central fl HD, but I got to see my old campus and fraternity house, then headed back, caught 1 rain ban then all clear, have been watching nothing else happen all night

Hopefully central fl gets some badly needed rain and nothing more
