May 2012

I am in SW Ala.
There was a nice breeze coming from the NE of us, the air felt light and dry.
Mr. Dixie said he could smell "sea air" so we checked the weather and sure enough..alberto.
Which is moving to the W/SW now.
But, because hurricane winds move counter clockwise, we got the benefit of some very nice clear mild weather.
Hopefully that will be the closest a hurricane comes to our area ( but reality says probably not)
