Hurricane Gordon is currently sitting of the coast of northwestern
Florida. The weather forcasters say that the biggest threat from Hurrican Gordon besides the coastal
storm surge will be from
flash floods and tornadoes. I live in south Florida, far from the center of the storm, yet yesterday a
tornado touched down less that a mile away from my home. Tornado warnings are currently in effect for my
county and the two counties north of mine.
The
rain comes in bands. As the hurricane moves forward, bands of storms rotate counterclockwise around the
eye. It's raining right now in fact. And once this storm passes in half an hour, I'll probably have about three to six hours to get home before the next one hits.
My roommate is happy about the windy and rainy weather. This means more
surf for her. She came in at 7:30 this morning hooting and hollering about how huge the
waves were and left in less than ten minutes with her
surfboard under her arm.
