I live in Ocala, which is in Central Florida. I don't claim to be an expert by any means. I believe birds have a God given instinct to feel things you and I cannot! Having said that, I have not noticed many birds this morning. Typically, there is a whole slew of crows, hawks ect at my place of employment. Today, nothing. The only birds I did see flying were heading northeast. Praying it is not too severe of a storm for my neighbors on the coast!Hi All:
Long time hurricane veteran having lived in south fla since 1959 and now relocated to the ft meyers area. Went through the Andrew eyewall and never want to do one of those again.
One thing that I use as a sign is how many birds do you see?
This storm is bothering me a bit. Driving down to naples and back yesterday the volume of birds is non existent. This morning I have seen a flock of ibis, numerous crows and blackbirds, and hear several mockingbirds singing. There is still a dearth of birds in my area. Nature is telling me that this is coming this way but where? Is it going a tad north like pt charlotte or Sarasota, or south of macro? I have already gotten ready as I start my preps early in the season, just need to get gas today and some odds and ends for the weekend.
Anyone in the west coast of FL, do you see a lot of birds in your area?
Ian, Hermine got taken by the TD by africa.It looks like this system will get the dreaded I name as Hermine stole the name this afternoon from a quick forming system off the coast of Africa this afternoon.
Ian is now expected to be a category 4 in the Gulf of Mexico.
