Hurricane!

Waiting for the outdoor wedding, and looking at the coast.

I miss the days when summer just meant afternoon rain, 98% humidity, and temperatures hovering near 100F. Ever since the 2004 hurricane season, when four high-level hurricanes slammed into Florida, the state’s inhabitants are expectedly nervous; news channels mention hurricane preparedness at every chance and many retailers will no doubt find their shelves cleared of water, batteries, and other items that are part of the sales tax holiday.
