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.
Quoting: humbird 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? Hey, LSDMTHC, here's a bit of Native American folklore. I worked on the Seminole Reservation for awhile a few years ago, and here's something I learned from them. Of course, as we all know, the natives are very good at using things of nature to know what is going to happen, weather-wise. So, the Seminoles told me that there is a particular bird - I don't know what it is called, but it has a "split tail." Not a particularly large bird, but if you see one flying around, take note of its flight....the split tail bird is telling you a hurricane is coming, AND it is flying AWAY from the direction of the storm. IOW, if the bird is flying SW to NE, the storm will travel SW to NE past the place the bird flew. Still waiting to see if that folklore holds water (or if that bird exists anywhere other than on the Seminole Reservation!!). Truth. Hey that is awesome!! Thank you for sharing that! I’m going to look at our bird book later :)
