2.2 million people in Florida have no power. That means no morning coffee without a generator. Oh my! Milton made landfall near Siesta Key and the tornados spawned were high in number throughout the afternoon. Most of Florida is currently under a state of emergency.
A few things I noticed…
- Watching weather.com for hours — even when it was just background noise — I heard an ad for Kamala run several times, but not a single Trump ad.
- People sharing videos on Facebook of Milton failed to notice that when they’re filming in total darkness, those watching only see black.
- I don’t remember a time when Cantore’s broadcast was live in a parking garage.
Jon (Masters) and family are hunkered down at Disney. Looks like they’re getting hit now and I’m sure will share photos and details once it’s daylight. I can’t think of a better place to ride out a hurricane.
Here’s hoping that the damage throughout the state is much less than was expected.
My puppies ignored Milton and instead focused on a yard intruder.
Perry sprayed the weeds in the ditch and my hounds didn’t appreciate it. Merida bristled up and kicked grass and even Dharma, in her limited mobility state, did a couple hops while barking. Get ’em girls! 🙂
Now you know: US president Benjamin Harrison was widowed while in office in 1892. Four years later, Harrison married his dead wife’s niece and had a daughter with her. His adult children who were around 40 years old, were horrified that their father married their cousin and didn’t attend the wedding.
