So this morning in Titusville we woke to strong winds and torrential rain. Oh dear! Was this Florida or England?

Putting on the many TV channels that discuss weather 24/7 we were cheerily told that Florida is experiencing unseasonably low pressure, the Gulf Stream is in the wrong place- oh and it’s now officially a tornado warning for Central and Eastern Florida. Heavy and damaging rain, winds and thunderstorms. Anyone for biking??

Our very nice hosts for last night offered us the room to stay another night but ever the hardy Brits we decided to wait for a break in the weather and dash for it. Ok yes we thought it a bit mad too, but another night in Titusville just did not appeal.

I am very happy to report that despite expecting to get drenched and stop for shelter we actually managed to stay ahead of the weather. We stayed totally dry!

The weather maps are off the TV just now. Green is bad and just look at the amount of cloud.

Just checking the weather now we seem to be in the clear down here in Fort Pierce. Yippee. Time to go find food then….and maybe a celebratory drink
