We're heading down to Key Largo for our first ever post-certification dives tomorrow. I'm wondering if dives on Wednesday and Friday will still be on...I guess that's what I get for scheduling a trip down there during this time of year!

I just hope that my foster dog's new mom and dad can still fly here from Washington State to FLL on Wednesday night to pick her up!
EDIT Thanks Mike, that looks a lot better for them.

Yeah, Ana looks like she will just be a rain event. The better new is that it looks like Bill will be turning toward the north, and is not expected to come this way.
Debby, the airports don't shut down operations until there are sustained winds of over 40 mph, or more.

I hope it turns, stops, or something.
Ana's predicted track keeps moving further and further "eastward" over the past few days!
here's the latest path on Bill. Looks like it will miss Florida completely
