Oneshotww's Musings

Posted by: oneshotww, 01:16 AM GMT am 14. August 2012

Eight years ago today - on Friday the 13th - Hurricane Charley made landfall in Punta Gorda, FL. All forecasts had it hitting Tampa and so the SW coast of FL was taken a bit by surprise. It was a Cat 3 and exited the state at Daytona Beach. I lived about 20 miles south of there and we lost power for seven days.

I always remember this day in 2004 and I think of it as the beginning of two very active tropical seasons.

Fall Roadtrip

Posted by: oneshotww, 07:13 PM GMT am 25. Oktober 2011

Last year I didn’t get to do a fall trip, so we took a long weekend and drove up to the North Georgia Mtns. to see some leaf color. It was really nice and I recommend the area to anyone living in FL or thereabouts that would like a fall view without having to go too far. The weather was perfect - cool but sunny and NO humidity! We stayed in a little town, Dahlonega and went to the Amicalola Falls State Park, had dinner one night in the town of Helen, took the tr...
