You know I don't know if this is strange or not but I was getting hourly reports on the Weather Channel app on my phone until it hit Freeport ( around 3 pm EST) and then nothing since then.

I like this screen capture. It's like Dorian is saying to Florida " We'll see Florida, you ain't all that"!! The night the lights went out in Georgia INDEED!!

I know, I'm long-winded and Very detailed in my posts, Sorry, As I've been doing lately, I've been on the most rigorous health kick of my entire life, Perfect diet, Work outside all day, And since I have a really really nice porch with a great view of the stars, I Sit outside in an old recliner with the two dogs I have left, So, Lately, I'm very in tune with Nature and the weather. Now I live in Southern Kentucky, So About 2:30 am I was listening to coast to coast looking at the stars, And the weather suddenly got really chilly, Like a cold front coming in. We didn't' see any rain or wind. But there was this unnatural cold that came in about 2:30. I'm sure that was Dorian.

Well I'm sitting outside in the back on my deck with my dog, we haven't had any rain from the hurricane yet, but nice windy gusts, which feels great and it's cooled off quite a bit too...The outer bands of rain are more than 50 miles away but circling slightly closer, we may yet get some rain tonight...Right now though it just feels awesome to be home and outside relaxing with this great weather even though it's coming from a destructive storm lol...
