Blew two 1st and goals settling for FG. I've been talking about Warren all season...my goodness is he a beast.

Warren was interfered with 3 times and still caught it.

Just what we needed coming out of the locker room.

72 here now.

How warm will it get? 65 at 9:50am.

Mow #30 for 2024 is in the books. For comparison, last year I ended with #44.

This morning's low of 38.8 was the lowest of the season. It's skyrocketed to 53 already at 9:05am. Northern Lights last night left my wife and I in awe. We never saw them on our 12 day journey through Alaska and thought that was our only chance of ever seeing them. Just beautiful last night.

I said way back on Opening Day, I relented somewhat after getting grief from some in here after I said it, but I still think the Phillies bullpen is vastly overrated and their true colors shown brightly in the postseason. They were abysmal when needed most.

My absolute favorite cruise terminal is JAXPORT. Yep, it looks like about 97 cents short of a dollar and once inside the terminal you realize it's actually 99 cents short of a buck. But cruising out the St. John's river into the Atlantic never gets old. Love going under the Dames Point Bridge and winding through the neighborhoods with people out waving along the way.

Probably not down there...here? Might be different...little to no rain here for at least the next week:

I did not realize how much rain has fallen in NE Florida until this past Sunday. This will be the 3rd consecutive month that Jacksonville gets roughly a foot of rain or more. They are now over 60" for the year and running about 17" AN to date.

Pregame warmup for a couple of months from now when every county will have some color of shading except for York and Lanco...or more likely, just Lanco.

Some areas getting 5-6"/hour.

Our son in law's parents live right up the road in Palm Coast. Just off 95 on the inland side. (I95 splits Palm Coast in half) We were just talking last week about how flood insurance is double on the ocean side of 95 compared to the west side. That absolutely dictated where they bought years ago.

I admittedly know nothing about tropical systems. I did read commentary in the lead in to Helene that any storm, regardless of intensity is potentially less damaging if it's in a weakening state upon approach vs. a storm that's intensifying at landfall. No idea if a storm that was 185 mph that hits the coast at 145 mph is any better than a 100 mph storm that reaches 120 mph at landfall. I guess at some point the pendulum flips in regards to intensity.

This thing is getting so strong that it's offsetting the anticipated weakening to come.

The good thing is...people are actually leaving. Helene was horrible. Might be one of the few storms that the results were worse than anticipated. It's hard to comprehend from our area just how devastating things are to our south. Bright (extremely relatively speaking) side in it? Because of how graphically bad as Helene was/is, maybe that has/will influence more people to take action going forward. I have to wonder if the mass exodus is in part due to how ominous Milton has become, and also in part to how fresh the catastrophe that Helene was.

2pm Advisory: Milton @ 155 mph.

I still get goosebumps watching that.

I chose my words very carefully.

This bust of a hurricane season is quickly becoming less...busty.

The only play I've seen this morning from the 2nd half was the TD pass. Nothing else. I did see it happened on 4th down.

One thing to watch - will it make landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula? That could not only weaken it but also disrupt the core (storm is small in overall size) to the point that it has a hard time regaining it's mojo. Going to be a very close call today with that. Milt's motion is still a bit SE of E.

Nice win last night, Cowboys fans. Exciting ending that I missed. Dak was clutch when it mattered most.
