Goodbye Earl

Today out at Jacksonville Beach, FL the red flags are posted for extreme warning to enter into the churning water.
The Red Flag is used for extreme caution.
The ocean was very active for our area. Although the waves were higher yesterday. Unknowingly yesterday I went out at high tide, so I got the full intent of the activity.

Lifeguards have their hands full I'm sure. The run out are really bad. Did you know if you're ever caught in one the best thing you can do is just let it take you out (easier said than done I'm sure) the farest it runs is just past the first breakers. So it really doesn't run out to sea. Then you swim to the side to get out of a rip current.

We shift our concerns now to our neighbors to the north of us. Earl is 400 miles north of us and we know our friends in NC are under the effects of Earl. We hope that it just skirts by and moves on out to sea...but we know that the track is on for it to impact the outer shores of the Eastern Seaboard and then find landfall in Canada. We hope that when it does it comes onshore as a rainmaker and does not cause any major damages.

  1. We are glad Earl is leaving you but we hope everyone else stays safe. Do you live at Jacksonville Beach? Our mum has a friend who lives there.

  2. Yes, we're crossing our paws for everyone too. Earl seems to be tracking west of Halifax, NS now, which is good. I'm sure there'll be lots of rain and gusty winds, but we're hoping it's only that, for everyone.

  3. Earl should be pulling up for his visit to us in about 30 minutes. We didn't invite him over.

  5. That ocean is plenty churny. We are watching Earl's projected route closely - a little to the west and he could smack us with some bad weather here. Hoping he heads even further east than projected, and misses everybody.

  7. That is sure a good thing and me and mommy were very interested in the pictures too. It willo go to where some of mommy's own bloggie friends live in MA and CT. That worries her a lot as well as for others.

  8. We hope Earl zips on up the coast without coming too close anywhere! We are not big hurricane fans, although our mom loves the ocean.

    Many purrs!
