Riders On The Storm

Day 168 (Written Monday May 28) ~ Today we experienced our first Tropical Storm, Beryl. It formed quickly off the Atlantic Coast and made landfall in Jacksonville and moved inward to Valdosta. How did we deal with the storm? We hopped in the car and headed West to Seaside, Florida and outran it. In Valdosta there was a torrential downpour, but three hours West it was blue skies and sunshine. We had a beautiful day at the beach and it was fascinating to see the swirling clouds as we got to Tallahassee on our way back home. We got tickled at all of the family in friends in Tennessee that were worrying about our safety (I can assure you we were never in anything close to danger). Tropical Storm Beryl was actually a blessing because he deposited a bunch of much needed rain. Now I’m curious to see what happens when a hurricane hits nearby. When that happens, we may be making an unexpected trip back to Tennessee.
