Meig Posted June 1, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2007 On the plus side, it looks like Florida and Georgia are going to get some needed rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted June 1, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted June 1, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2007 On the plus side, it looks like Florida and Georgia are going to get some needed rain. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue L Posted June 1, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2007 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coochuck Posted June 1, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 1, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralJohnson Posted June 1, 2007 #10 Share Posted June 1, 2007 It could be affected... do you have trip insurance? Nothing you can do about it at this point apparently, good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocF Posted June 1, 2007 #11 Share Posted June 1, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhcruzer Posted June 2, 2007 #21 Share Posted June 2, 2007 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!

JanineM Posted June 2, 2007 #24 Share Posted June 2, 2007 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!!!

renza Posted June 2, 2007 #25 Share Posted June 2, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
