The tropics are a swirling and twirling with storms at the moment and we are expecting one of these to come up through the Gulf of Mexico and then take a turn and come right over us starting tomorrow with the worst of it hitting Thursday. So far it is looking like just a Tropical Depression but could become a Category 1 Hurricane if it builds up some more steam. Either way we told Mom we had to get out and about before it arrives as heavens forbid we get our feet wet going out in the rain :) When we arrived at the beach we found the wind was already blustering and the waves were all choppy (Mom was happy to see it as she says it should be blowing up some shells in a few days). We also got to watch ship after ship coming into the St Johns River and guess they are heading into the safety of the docks before the worse of it arrives. The two we saw close up were the Monte Aconcagua which is a container ship built in 2009 and currently sailing under the flag of Germany. The other ship was the Mol Magnificence which is a container ship built in 2010 and currently sailing under the flag of Marshall Islands. 
Meow Out Loud!--a Madi ship! We think no matter what time of day, the beach is fine! Happy to see you out and enjoying it. Hope that stormy weather stays away.

I love those pictures!
ReplyDeleteWe're getting a little bit of rain here in the Cape, near Ft. Myers as I write this. They're saying we may get heavier rain tomorrow but that's about it as the brunt of it will be in North Florida! Stay Safe! {And don't get WET} :)
ReplyDeleteHope all you get is some rain. Then you can send it up here, we need it!
ReplyDeleteCrikey ... Stay safe! We are hearing about your storms all the way out here in Australia so they must be going to be bad, aye? Please be careful and stay safe!
ReplyDeleteHaha, bet all the cat lovers got a picture of that ship!

ReplyDeleteAll ships to a port in a storm! Hope you manage to stay dry - those stormies can get a bit WWIILLLDDD;.. hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Stay safe and dry my friends!
ReplyDeleteI hope there is no damage around your house or in one of your parks and the storm will pass by.... a ship named MOL? bet that is a ship what brings catnip over the big pond :o)
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you guys the next couple of days. Hopefully no flooding, just some rain and a bit of wind. We thought our weather might be like yours since we're so close to the outer banks, but it looks like that storm is petering out and going out to sea, so it's clear and sunny here today.
ReplyDeleteI saw the weather forecast this morning and we immediately thought about ya'll. All of you be careful okay my friends. Love your pictures! XOXO - Bacon
ReplyDeleteStay safe guys.
ReplyDeleteWe've been watching the storm tracking around Florida lately because our Jessy lives in Boca Raton. So far she's just gotten lots of rain. Hope you guys don't get hit!

Stay safe you guys. Katie and I are just now home and didn't realize how in the center of this you guys would be. Please remember if you need somewhere to go, you can go to the lake house in Alabama. Just call and I'll give you an address and will call the neighbor to let you in.
