    Sitting in a hotel room when I don't wanna... Hurricane Idalia

    Weather said it was going to rain hard around 11 today and was sprinkling when we left the house at 830, so we took rain coats. At 11 it was high and dry and stopped sprinkling after we got to our destination. Just the way it goes
