Some of the weather goobers are starting to get moist over this bad boy.

Just in case it turns and makes run at us (which until recently may have sounded unlikely) here’s some info on them.

During my 26 years of growing up and living on the south shore of Long Island NY, we survived 14 hurricanes. We lived across the street from a canal that accessed the Great South Bay. We never evacuated and never had any storm damage. I remember one of them we were without power for a week.

Yes the local channels spend more time on it then what is happening here. Plus all the stupid tailgate, kickoff halftime temperature. I don't watch football so I don't have any idea what those times are. Make the sports guy take up that time and just stick with regular times.

Local weather reporting is the crutch/filler for lack of local news coverage. Used to be weather was about 5 minutes, now 15+.

Our local weather is currently boring, so to fill in for the lack of actual news coverage they’ll cover ‘any’ other weather as filler.

Anyway I hope this thing peters out before hitting Florida.
