They are not moving the track right now. It's definitely going to impact a huge area. Shutting down the drilling rigs in the gulf, good excuse to jack up gas prices! Cuba is gonna get whooped!

11:00 AM update from National Hurricane Center still shows impact in the Big Bend, and moving over Tallahassee by 8:00 AM friday.
If this holds, Answered Prayers Farm will be fine. Just a LOT of rain and some wind.

Things are starting to cool off here. Looks like it will be sunny all next week, but highs are only in the 70's and later in the week, the 60's. I guess it is Fall.
The path of Ian is firming up. Looks like the tract will be east of Hurricane Micheal by about 50miles. Now it's just a matter of how big it'll be. We need a strong ridge of high pressure from the great plains to chop the top off this storm. That's the only thing that'll kill it or at least push it quickly out into the atlantic.
I'll have tropical storm force winds by Wednesday afternoon, 40mph+. 2 days before landfall.

Waiting on a "cold" front later, maybe a teeny tiny chance of a storm with it! Still uppers 90's today, but only upper 80's this week!!
Around here the temps went from 90 to 65 like they saw a state trooper.
5:00 PM Sunday update from National Hurricane Center has the track shifted east just a tad, and when it crosses from Florida into Georgia it will be about 50-60 miles from our place, and we'll be on the right side of the storm, the "bad" side.
We are set, all preps in place, wife mowed about 3 acres around the house, and front and back horse paddocks. If we get significant rain, might not be able to mow for a couple of weeks - standing water and then very wet ground.
Ahhh!! Life in Florida!!!
It's all good!!

That's great. I was watching the FL governor on national TV, telling people not to run generators inside their house. I thought, wait, what?
...Then I remembered that they have Newyawkers that have moved down there
.
Definetly going to a bit windy this week. I need the rain, hate to say it... If the track keeps drifting east I may only get a little wind.
There have been instances before, especially in Miami, where generators running outside a house were simply stolen.That's great. I was watching the FL governor on national TV, telling people not to run generators inside their house. I thought, wait, what?
...Then I remembered that they have Newyawkers that have moved down there
So, people started running them inside. In the garage if they had one. And ended up dying from carbon monoxide.
The coolest one is the thief who left a running lawnmower to make noise while he stole the generator.

We drove over past Olney but too many clouds on the southern horizon and expected to stay that way until 10, too late for me considering how far from home. High storm clouds with lots of beautiful flashing in it; clear here in my zone. 81. Humid, clouds off to the east.
Downtown Dallas had a severe storm mid afternoon. Beautiful lightening to the south!! At least it's cooler, really need some rain!
Ian's track is a little more east!! Will SuperV get some of the crust?
Probably only just a little shrapnel.
Our 7-day forecast shows 'sunny' for every single day next week
.Unbelievable, after already having a whole week of 'rain-free' days.
We are just fine with no rain
.... Maybe the mower can actually cool down from one mowing to the next for a change.
ALL I can tell ya is the local forecast for Alamo:
"Winding DOWN with a chance of CRASHING, lol... a BIG chance, so you PIKERS dig deep for them DOLLARS, and be sure to BET on the EXACT MINUTE when I CRASH!!!"
If I were runnin' this sorry-@$$ show, I'd say "EXACT NANOSECOND"---but I'm a CHEAP B@STARD and I don't like laying my money on the line, 10-4???

Very windy here, breaking the sunflowers- meant to escalate to heavy rain by Friday also, guess its the tail end of the storm that hit Nova Scotia. Wishing everyone in the Hurricane's path best wishes.
That was the best part of our Texas hot dry summer, hardly mowed this year! Of course everything is dead, except the person pushing the mower!Probably only just a little shrapnel.

Looks like we are going to get what's left of the hurricane next weekend. But we have friends and relatives in Florida, hope they don't get hit too much.
Pearl, its 55 here this morning. Got my windows open in the office.
59° here right now, all windows open!! Heading for 89°, will be nice!!
We should be mid 70s
Next couple days won't get outta the 60s. I'm gonna take a vacation day and go fishing.
Ian now 500 miles 'fat' and working on an "eye":
Respectable.
Edit: Daughter lives in Tampa, is under a mandatory evacuation order, heading to a boyfriend's house in Orlando.

The weather man just spoke... This Cane is tracking east. I'm in the clear, literally. May not even get a rain shower, slight chance on Saturday. Sunny for the next week.
Keep your head down RPD! Just hope it picks up ground speed and heads back out to sea quickly.

46 this am, heading to around 70.
Mostly clear & sunny this week with cooler fall temps... tomorrow morning might be a good opportunity to have a controlled burn in my yard, the weather forecast says it'll be calm. I'd like to get rid of those weed piles and some of that old wood... pulled tree stumps, lopped branches, etc. All of it is dry so it should burn fast... I'll have to take a look at it this morning and see if I can't come up with a plan for the controlled burn. Once I torch everything, I'll spread the cold ashes in strategic growing locations around the yard.
