On the plus side, it looks like Florida and Georgia are going to get some needed rain.

[Cruising89143]

As bad as the state of Florida and south Georgia need the rain this is not a bad thing. Let's hope that it puts out the fires in south Georgia.

Right!!! the news says Florida sure needs the rain. We seem to have an overabundance here in Texas. Crazy weather this year.

 

It's too early in the season and the waters are too cool to be worried about the storm winds being bad enough to worry .... yet.

[Sue L]

My mom can't even leave the house in Naples Florida without smelling the smoke from the nearby fires. I hope they get alot, they sure need it!!

[beloum]

Here we go again. Only 6/1 and we are already on B's. Hopefully things will slow down or we will be using Greek names again come Oct, Nov, Dec.....

I'd love to host Barry for the weekend! It's so dry, the rain would be welcomed.

[Coochuck]

Due to work requirements not taking off till saturday morning..due to land at 9:15 AM with the Glory scheduled to leave at 4PM. With high winds due to the storm, anyone have any experience with flight delays in Orlando ..... should it be effected tomorrow???

 

Thanks

[AdmiralJohnson]

It could be affected... do you have trip insurance? Nothing you can do about it at this point apparently, good luck!!!

[DocF]

I make no guarantees, but it looks as though Barry will not be affecting the Orlando area until later in the day. Usually, these early season Gulf tropical storms will be more of a rain generator than a wind event. Right now, I have a mad dash drive to Panama City, FL scheduled for Monday morning and I really would like the storm to get a move on and get north of North Carolina by then. I do think that both you folks and I are going to be OK, though

 

Good cruising,

Doc

Yes we are getting much needed rain....all day long. So happy to see it - everything is so dry.

 

Truly sorry for those whose plans were ruined by the weather.

[rhcruzer]

I'm in Florida, about 1 hour from the Port. They say it's more of a rain maker than wind. They say the winds will die down by mid-day tomorrow. They say the rain is supposed to start here around midnight through tomorrow. But it's already raining here. We board the Glory in 2 weeks. All of this weather better blow on out. That goes for Barbara for those on the Pacific coast too. Hopefully by time the Glory leaves tomorrow, things will calm down enough for everyone to enjoy!

[Tanker4]

We are so thrilled there will be rain! Yippee!! I know, though, others leaving this weekend from the ports here are none too thrilled, I am sure. Sorry you guys......:( but yippee for use who are just too dry! Who would have ever thought we'd welcome a Tropical Storm on June 1 with such gesto!

Agree. Until today, we haven't had any rain here for over a month. Hope it rains all weekend.

Well, nothing like starting storm season here in Orlando with rain. It's almost like it waited for the first official day. But we need it.

[JanineM]

We've been doing a rain dance in central Florida for weeks ... glad to see Barry and its rain.

 

Sorry for those boarding ships this weekend, but they'll be out of the rain soon enough, and we'll have fewer brush fires for them to suffer through!!!

 

(knocking wood that ths is the worst of the hurricane season for us! :o )

[renza]

Let it rain, let it rain, let is rain! We need this rain in the worst way. We can only water are lawn 1 time a week for 30 min in south florida. As of yesterday there were 186 fires burning in florida alone. Afraid 2 days of rain wont help much but please dont be upset about rain for florida.
