Tropical Storm ISAAC, calm before the storm, storm, and aftermath, PHOTO BLOG
It looks like our little slice of paradise, is expecting an un-welcome visitor.
Time to hope for the best, and begin to make preparations for the worst.

Current forecasts are showing a slight weakling and a gradual drift to the West.
Both are good news for SW Florida. As you can see in the first photo below, it
is calm and another beautiful day in SW Florida. Today it is beginning to get a bit breezy.
River photo was taken around 11:00am 8/24.

Beginning to make preparations. This is about 4-5, 24hour days, worth of generator fuel. Worst case, I use it in the generator, best case, it goes into one of the cars or boats, after the storm.

Thanks for posting this, Frank. Your pictures are top notch like always. Even tho I am far away right now I am hoping it stays out at sea and Florida is spared. I will follow along and will be seeing you before too long now.
Stay safe.

NEW PHOTOS AT PHOTO BLOG. Isaac, keep plowing along, getting closer
and stronger. I just plotted the current NHC (11:00am 8/25/12) discussion
forecast coordinates in my navigation system. They have the center 85 miles
offshore from Marco Island, 93 miles offshore from Ft Myers Beach, and 107
miles offshore from my house.

I have basically the same generator. It has been running strong since 1999. Hopefully won't have to use it tomorrow/Monday. Going outside to do the usual prep for a T.S./minimal hurricane and will watch it and hope it doesn't ramp up too much while going over the straits.
