Tropical update for Sept. 23, 2022: Overnight we definitely got clarity as to where our storm is going and it is away from us.

Tropical update for Sept. 22, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! I’m not doing a video today because we don’t know a lot more today than we did yesterday.

BTW, the next tropical storm nameContinue reading “Tropical update for Sept. 20, 2022”

Sept. 19, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We finally got one of those nighttime showers to give us a little rain, with the emphasis on “a little.” It seems that everyone got wet, but no one got much more than a tenth of an inch of rain, enough to keep the dust down for one morning,Continue reading “Sept. 19, 2022”
