I have to say it is strange hearing news from bloggers and twitterers before the networks have it online or TV!   Fay might have been a sissy - but I like the picture :)   

PS. Happy Birthday to Algorithm !!! 

ROTFL. Tide and Pampers, but it's true.  Eduardo was a sissy too.  Glad that everything went ok and Fran wasn't as bad as expected.

Who the heck needs Jim Cantore.....

We've got the real deal right here in Bonita.

So true about the bloggers getting the info. out quicker and many times in a more reliable manner than the news. The national media has little left to offer.

Also, as I scanned your last blog... I agree and also support Fitzgeralds. Great food. Even their burgers are great. And of course.......the BEER!

You can have your Hurricanes and Tropical storms, and I will suffer along with our month after month after month of the drizzles.

I hear you need the rain and now all the reservoir's are fill up again. Keep the reports coming in.

Did Fay see you coming and wimp out? I guess a tropical storm is no match for you!

We had no damage whatsoever. Just typical summer weather. Tropical storms, hurricanes, etc. I was born and raised in Daytona Beach. I've never had storm damage, and I've never evacuated. The most we've ever done is board up the windows.

I say Fay got scared and decided not to come out. Hopefully Fay will stay out. Its good that Fay didn't come out since the aftermath would've been some major damages. Great post.

Yes, the meteorologists on the weather channel do seem to get excited when in the spotlight.

You're absolutely right Chris, the media blew it way out of proportion.  Let's see how they do with Ike!
