headed north along rt 98? to our favorite spot on the gulf....Cedar Key....mainly because its closest....couple hours west of us....but the Panhandle is the best all around beaches......

Just starting to get outer storms in Columbia. Days like this make me glad I dont live in Myrtle Beach any more. Seen more evacuees than rain drops at this point but supposed to get worse tonight. winds up to ........ wait for it..........28 miles an hour! Oooohhh.

When I was stationed on Okinawa I was in a super typhoon, gusts over 210. This is nothing and I am damn glad of it!

I'm going to be in Okinawa in about 3.5 weeks. They've been spared from big storms so far this season.

I am about 70 miles from the Jacksonville coast. We had wind around 32 to 40 with gusts but the problem I have is that we face a 700 acre lake to the east of us. The wind on the lake is pretty dang strong.

I am so blessed that only one dead pine went down and miraculously, we kept power. That usually does not happen.

We got out on time. Now in NJ .

Philadelphia airport is one of the worst airports I've ever been to. It is on par with the Old Bangalore airport.

It's an embarrassment to aviation in America.

Man, we are getting drenched up here. Not much wind to speak of, a bit breezy is all. But the rain has been coming down since yesterday.

Just about everything is significantly better once you get out of Philadelphia. Especially cheesesteak sandwiches.

You know what the best view of Philadelphia is?

To be perfectly honest, i wish I was going with you. I had a great time there. Food so good!

Also I probably owe my former GF about $3000 and I am in a position now to pay it back...
