Just figured out the GOM means "Gulf of Mexico"... Anyway, that model has it basically going into Tampa, which is a really bad scenario for us, personally. We have had a really bad week here, so don't want to even think about this..

StormCarib has the following with regard to TD 13 for SXM "The approximate Closest Point of Approach (CPA) is located near 18.6N, 63.0W or about 37.8 miles (60.9 km) from your location. The estimated time of when the center of the storm will be at that location is in about 16 hours and 19 minutes from now (Saturday, August 22 at 1:24AM AST)."

Here in New Orleans, we have 14 going West of us, and 13 (now named Laura) going East of us. It's gonna be close.

Anyone on Island up early? Electricity? Flooding? Damage?
Hope and pray everyone is well! Check in when you can.

Everything ok here. There may be some local flooding as there has been some rain, but I don't think too much. Still a bit windy showery this morning, but I can sit on my balcony quite comfortably.

Good news, Elaine! thanks. Yes, it will be interesting to see how Lake Atrium did. I figure Lake Mullet will probably be there though??

Lake Mullet has been pretty good most of the time in recent years, usually just a pond. So long as they keep the little canal clear. Still getting some squalls, so not venturing in the car any time soon. Happy I can sit on the balcony a breathe in the cool air! So sick of AC!

OK, glad to hear that re Lake Mullet. I certainly know what you mean about a/c. We enjoy it when we get to October/November around here and we can turn our a/c off and have the doors open.

I lived overseas in the tropics. “Heat” lightening exists. It is if you want to refer to it as "Heat Lightening" but it really isn't. Refer to the links above.
