Almost the same here in Brooksville. Very quiet and calm. No rain today yet, yesterday it rained all day. But there are a few critters about. Maybe that's a sign we won't get hit so hard?? I'm not a bit worried about the wind, except for downed power lines. We had all the big pine trees removed from around where we built the house. My main worry is too much rain since we have hard-pan clay about 6 inches below the surface which prevents it from draining down. We had a swale dug a few years ago but we found out it wasn't sufficient for a foot of rain like we had for TS Debby. Our local area was so bad, only one way out because of road flooding. We had to go 15 miles around the other way just to get to the gas station 2 miles from us.

Quiet here too. Very pleasant actually. Kind of eerie, really, knowing what is coming our way.

Just checked and there are TS warnings for all the inland counties, all the way over to the northeast coast. I have a bad feeling about this storm.

I went out and cut all my roses that had flowers on them this morning before it started pouring. All our chickens know somethings up because they were hanging out inside their coops today even though it wasn't raining yet. Usually they are running around everywhere.

It's not all that strong but it's just so huuuuge. Lots of water.
