Weirdest pre- storm ever. Not a puff of breeze coastal Daytona. I have been through ten hurricanes here. This is bizarre.

By now we should have gusts at 20 mph. We have nada.

Right? I’ve only been here in FL since 2008 but this is ominous, strange, it’s incredibly quiet, clouds look off. I’m probably overthinking it but I took my dog to the park earlier and got an eerie vibe although I did see two huge, beautiful butterflies. A Monarch and a black/yellow striped one. A butterfly or bumblebee always makes me smile!

The lakes were pretty calm too. The calm before the storm? Or nothing....who knows anymore. There was also a drone above, really high, following the power lines so probably Google Maps or something? Ugh. Can we go back to the era before cell phones?

That was more than likely a zebra long wing butterfly. My wife’s favorite in the state.

My logic is that I was at the coast a few hours ago and saw plenty of birds of different kinds so I think we’re safe, don’t they normally flee before major weather events? Or is that just earthquakes?

Those are called swallowtail butterflies. I have them all around my house. We’re starting to get the heavy stuff here in Punta Gorda... it’s quite the drizzle! A few days ago it rained 5 inches in an hour and we had wind gusts over 50mph. That was an actual tropical storm.
