Here it comes. The calm was too good to last. A tropical disturbance (Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine) currently off the coast of Central America is moving towards the north-northwest and is forecast to cross the Caribbean by Tuesday night, and then over the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday and Thursday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 35 mph with higher gusts. Strengthening is expected during the next few days, and the system is forecast to become a hurricane on Wednesday and continue strengthening on Thursday as it moves across the Gulf and then straight north across the Florida panhandle and up into Georgia.
Tropical storm-force winds are expected to arrive in Atlanta sometime after 8 pm Thursday night, because these storms always arrive here in the dead of night. It's scarier that way when the power goes out.
Priorities: this shit better blow over and my power back up and running in time for Saturday night's Georgia-Alabama football game.
