OK - it looks as though tis one might be ours - 1.2 miles away is the latest projection for Saturday - perhaps a beach party might not be the best idea - watcha think?

Wow! You get more rain than we do--we're the second highest in the US behind Mobile, AL

Looks like you're gonna get the rain now Cassie!
Better Ooops than Oh S**T!

Haha! they still can't decide whether it will go north or south of us but it is breaking up and has been downgraded so at best we will get a soaking. Antigua is complaining that they have had 6 inches of rain in 3/4 hour. Now that is damp! But a new contender is coming off the African coast - so perhaps the party is just postponed!
