Adios Debby

The National Hurricane Center downgraded Debby from a tropical storm to a tropical depression Tuesday night as it slogged across northern Florida toward the Atlantic coast. Debby's maximum sustained winds early Wednesday were near 35 mph.

But forecasters said a combination of storm surge and tide could bring flooding to coastal areas that have already been drenched by the storm that sat virtually motionless in the Gulf of Mexico for several days.

Thankfully, Tampa and SOG City made it through the storm more or less unscathed. We have seen worse, and we have a real shit-storm headed our way this August 27 - 30. But, for now:
