Back online for the duration of the hurricane WINDOW. Not much new going on around here---and we hope it'll continue to be a tranquil 2018 hurricane season across south Florida.  I see and read some of the build-up amongst the national media---that seem to be 'chomping at the bit' --- with hints of organization out in the day +7 to day +10 time frame. The "first with the worst" thought process and mindset gets old for me personally. Fortunately,  our local TV weather guys seem to be very wise about mitigating the hype. Suppose we could use a little more rain though---am down a good amount from last year's 'wet season'.  2018 rainfall --- May 6.65 June 8.02 July 7.11 and August 6.98 or 28.76" for the season . Our 2017 May-Aug rainfall total 45.24". 

So a few SE-to NW-moving mid-level disturbances ---passing overhead --- would be helpful!
