Boring Video Update About a Boring Storm … So Far

by Randy on August 19, 2008 · Comments

Tropical Storm Fay Update from North Orlando from Randy Thomas on Vimeo.

Don’t get me wrong. I love boring storms that have names. I feel bad for the people in Barefoot Bay and others who have suffered damage. That said, in my neighborhood … nothing to speak of. It’s crazy looking at the radar and seeing my friends on the other side of I-4 getting nailed with serious rain and it basically barely raining here. I don’t know if that will change or what. I don’t think anyone knows where the storm is headed. The track changes a lot. Anyway, there it is. Watch the boring video and then leave a comment about how bored you were watching it.

Or something.

UPDATE: Gimmee a break … take a gander. I don’t think they know where she will go.

Thanks for the video update! Now I must admit it would be much more interesting to have seen you holding on to the balcony railing for dear life as the wind waved across you like a flag : )... but hey, the sound of falling rain is a welcomed sound is much more interesting than watching my rose bushes slowly turn from yellow to brown! It's nostalgic to here you speak of your location... my grandparents lived in Winterpark, Jupiter, Ft. Myers, Orlando [off Orange Blossom Trail] and Ocoee for several decades. Oh, the memories of loading up in the old Ford station wagon at 1:00/2:00 in the morning and stopping in Jesup, GA for breakfast at Jones' Kitchen then stopping at the A&W Root Beer drive-in restaurant [in Orlando] to get a gallon of root beer before we went to my grandparents!

Well, cool. Kind of glad I didn't have to hang on for dear life and really glad it brought back to mind such great memories. They sound like a lot of fun. How old were you?

I will be 48, Feb. 2009. My family and I visited my grandparents and cousins a couple of times a year from the 1950's until my grandparents moved to Charlotte in the mid '70's. I remember the day trips to Daytona Beach with nine siblings and cousins crammed into a station wagon and being able to park the car on the beach::: Pause:::: I just remembered that I had a photo of one of those trips! Check it out here:

We also would play dodge ball with grapefruits in a grapefruit grove that was near my cousins house.... it's not fun being hit with rotten grapefruit!

Awesome pics. I think grapefruit dodgeball sounds like fun.

Yeah, I heard about the tropical storm all the way from Vancouver BC, Canada. And I also heard that the storm didn't come with as much force as previously thought it would. Glad to see that things are going well. What you showed on your vimeo looks like the rain storms we get in Vancouver which come on a regular basis. We've had thunder and lightning periodically in various locations and it's been hotter then usual. I think Vancouver has had record breaking heat recently. That said, it rains a lot in Van much like in the vimeo although I don't think I can call the rain storms Tropical Storms.

I really enjoyed Vancouver the time I visited there a couple of years ago. It was very nice weather.
