I vote Red and love this state. It’s not like I’m making it any worse. Pinellas county needs more conservatives for gods sake It was worth a shot I’m A Ok with conservatives moving here and preserving the freedom that Florida offers. Leftists moving here is a fucking shame. I’ve never felt at home anywhere else but Florida. My son was born here, I was married here, I love this state, it’s the best in the USA and IMO the best place on earth, we do need to do something about the liberal problem though. Too many people here period. Left or right. Hope the vaccine works as advertised... In all honesty though if Florida goes full blue we’d just be California without mountains and earthquakes Floridian. Christian, Father, Hard worker and a millenial. Fuck Big Pharma! Don’t be a pussy, if you leave red at least leave your name. I can’t guarantee I’ll be alive come this time next year… |

There's a dead pine just on the my neighbor's side of the property line. It's dropped three large branches on my property in the last month. It could be bad for either house if it fell. Fortunately for me it's leaning slightly in his direction. It wouldn't hurt to add a webbing strap to the tree as high as easily attached, to a ground anchor, and direct the tree to where you want it to go, rather than leave it to chance where it will go. It's on my neighbor's property. I don't think he'd be ok with me making sure it falls on his house. Hang in there Astro, it will be ok! |

User ID: 73158440 United States 07/06/2021 05:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Weirdest pre- storm ever. Not a puff of breeze coastal Daytona. I have been through ten hurricanes here. This is bizarre. Quoting: humbird 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? It has a completely different feel than before most storms. Now we have a tiny onshore breeze, but the trees aren't moving. Almost seems CGI.

I used to live in Mel Beach and could get a better feel for the weather. I’m in Central FL now but still, this has a weird, ominous vibe. I’m sure all the doom is clouding our judgment but it still has a “je ne sais quois” ya know what I’m saying? We’ll most likely wake up tomorrow and be fine. |

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. |
