Two tropical systems, one on each side...Gustav, a building, churning almost Cat 5 monster sitting in the Gulf heading towards the Gulf coast....and Hanna, sitting in the Atlantic, trying to decide exactly what she wants to do as she continues to build.
Some of the rain bands have been hitting us off and on since Friday from Gustav. I just read an update in the local paper and Hanna is supposed to be dumping rain on us by Wednesday if not before. Hit and miss at the moment to figure which one to worry about most. Summer time in Florida, got to love it...haha.
The day has been overcast with only bits of sun here and there. The temps have been in the upper 80's and the steam from all the floodwater makes it feel over 100 degrees.
The past two nights we've had rain in the wee hours and then rain periodically throughout the day. The chicken yard is once more a bog...I started out to open the coop this morning and sunk in the muddy bog before I could even get close to the door. Sigh, looks like they will be staying inside today...all were at the door in anticipation of release. I refilled their dishes inside the coop from the back access doors so they should be ok. At least it isn't too hot in there and they seem to be ok. After Fay went through, the doors on the back side were so swollen from the rain that I could barely pry them open. Once open, they almost wouldn't shut. Wouldn't be bad except that there is no fence on that side and the dogs would be chasing and terrorizing them.
