A WEAKER ERNESTO COMES CALLIN'

Tropical Storm Ernesto, weakened after crossing the mountianous terrain of Hispinola and Cuba, looks as though he will visit the Sunshine State sometime tomorrow. From what I'm seeing and hearing, the main effect that the storm will have on our area will be a lot of rain. Polk County is under an Inland Tropical Storm Watch, which could be upgraded later today, but it is not expected to reach hurricane strength before reaching Florida.

I'm guessing that the local school district will announce later today that classes will be cancelled for Wednesday. Of course, it won't close up our call centre, so I'll be doing the long hours again, earning that big OT check.
