Default Erika could head right up the middle of Florida

Here's an update on hurricane Erika...

http://www.accuweather.com/en/weathe...ing-1/52021729

Although will likely just be a tropical storm/depression by the time it gets to Florida, it's going to sour a lot of peoples vacation plans. It's really going to be a serious rainmaker...

Unless you like to play in rough surf

I'm keeping an ear out for hwn.org just to see what I can hear.

Dang. Yankees don't vacation in Florida in Summer. Why the heck couldn't it come in January when it could do some good?

I have a guy in my shop that spends a lot of time at Disney World. He was planning a trip in the next few weeks. He likes the fall cause the kids are in school and it's cooler. Wonder if his plans are changing?

I read someplace we have had 114 or so hurricanes since one has hit Florida. Since before Sandy and Irene.

Usually we don't switch to long pants until mid January.

Last word on I believe Erika was it blew out and may be heavy rain in some places. but just rain, nothing major to blow with it.
