You get a little way away from the coast and the craziest thing happens; the temperature drops right down into the sixties at night. Brrr.
We blasted west ahead of the hurricane. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. The 30 mile bridge across the Atchafalaya. We thought we were choosing between a hurricane to our south and a heavy rainstorm to our west. We were ready for the rain. The rain hardly happened. It was a cloudy tailwind day (we got 9mpg). Easy driving. We ended up well north of the freeway, north of Lake Charles for the night.

Watching the weather channel, Pensacola (where we were last night) is getting hammered. It’s not a big hurricane, but even a tropical storm is still a lot of weather.
Go Broncos.
