Been trying to clean up the storm debri and now I'm dealing with poison Ivy from my ankles up to the back of my thighs and very bad behind my knees. . Hurts like a Mother.

I hope you see a doctor ASAP. You sound like you're having a severe reaction.

I have a severe allergy to poison ivy. In the event you are unaware, the vine that melons grow on, is in the same family as poison ivy. I now carry an epi pen because my last reaction was bad.

In a lot of pain. Calling my doctor tomorrow.

Oh, no! Is it too late tonight to go to an urgent care place?

Wow, another potential west coast FL landfall, while the east coast stays, that "Q" word.

Are you doing okay today?

That yellow blob is finally giving Sarasota intermittent rain storms. Our rainy season was so dry, we need to raise our water table.

For some reason a couple of years ago they started naming storms, this is the first of the autumn.

It’s possible that he and Rina could merge.

Jewelweed works for poison ivy, if you can find any growing wild. Speaking from experience. MOO YMMV

What happens to the NWS/NOAA/National Hurricane Center in the event of a government shutdown?

Philippe, Rina: Will Florida get hurricane forecasts if there's a government shutdown?

As a government shutdown looms and threatens to temporarily close the doors on multiple federally-funded agencies, will weather forecasts be affected?

What happens to the NWS/NOAA/National Hurricane Center in the event of a government shutdown?

I believe they are not affected by the shutdown, but I'm not certain.

I believe they are not affected by the shutdown, but I'm not certain.

Quote from the article (sorry about that, but IMO it's better to post here than edit my previous post):

"The work of the NWS is critical and necessary to protect life and property in the country and parts of the world through international agreements," said Sarah Teefey, National Weather Service meteorologist, in an email. "Under a lapse of appropriation, the day-to-day operational work of the National Weather Service continues."

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is a division of the National Weather Service (NWS), which is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is a branch of the U.S. Department of Commerce, which will be affected by any government shutdowns.

However, personnel in the federal government who are deemed "essential" will continue working. The NWS will continue to provide critical forecast, watch and warning information to protect life and property as it has in previous shutdowns.

[...]

"NWS provides the nation with continuous climate, water, space weather, weather observations, forecasts and warnings, and Impact-based Decision Support Services (IDSS) during hazardous conditions," the U.S. Department of Commerce said in its 2023 appropriations lapse contingency plan. [PDF] "This work is critical and necessary to protect life and property in the country and parts of the world through international agreements. Offices operate on a 24 hour/7 days a week or 16 hour/7 days a week schedule to provide forecasts, warnings, data, critical expertise, and IDSS."
