Re: Calm before the storm.....
It's pretty calm here. The sky was really red and orange. When I was leaving work their was that soon to rain smell in the air.
My office is open tomorrow but senior management has the "phone tree" in place in the event they need to shut down.
So far we're doing pretty good.
Stay Safe

Yes I just saw it. Here was the direct quote from the hurricane center "Hurricane watch lifted for all of Florida, but remains in effect for coastal areas of Georgia and the Carolinas, National Hurricane Center Says. "

I believe it's what happens when a tornado picks up water instead of making landfall.
here's a link for info
