Florida Wing: Check your gear and keep your powder dry!

Here they come.

The first Tropical Storm of the year is Ana, and she is heading for South Florida. Right behind her is a Tropical Depression, which will probably be named TS Bill by the end of the day, and looks like it might be stronger.

Stand by!

Sure glad I moved to NY

. I do miss the ES mission. Hopefully these storms will pass without incident.

National Hurricane Center still predicts Ana will be a tropical storm if it hits Florida Thursday. Not a hurricane.

To be followed with a tropical stimulus plan?

Yip, we're watching over here on the West Coast, Kach.

Anna and Billy sitting in a tree........

Good luck Floridians!

It is still too early to call for Bill, now to be predicted to become a hurricane, to hit Florida. If you extend the center line of the track, it heads more toward GA then FL.

My wife informed me today that our hurricane prep is not complete. She hasn't stocked the red wine and chocolates yet.

Red wine and chocolates? Where do you live? Tallahassee?

REAL Floridians stock up on Jack Daniel's and ammunition!

Forget something, Kach? There's a reason it's called the "Plywood State".

Maybe in the interior counties and along the coasts from I-4 north. I've seen some good ol' boys in Bradford County who'd do that supply proud. But here where all of us Midwesterners live (from Tampa south, along the Gulf), it's margueritas, hot pressed Cuban sandwiches and fireworks!

Not to worry, since Sparky has complained about no missions, Florida Wing members like Kach have arrainged to have Ana bypass Florida and head for Texas.

Kach's karma may have hurt Apalachicolans tonight. Looks like Claudette's headed that way, and she wasn't even born until this morning.

Margaritas are for partying. Jack is for serious drinking.

Besides... How you gonna make Margaritas when you lose power? You got a solar-powered blender there, big boy?
