General Florida DiscussionsAnything related to Florida in general. From "natives" talking about things they know about, to visitors asking about details to make their visit more pleasant.
Had the opportunity to walk over to the beach this evening in New Smyrna to watch the Space Shuttle launch. It was terrific. When those rockets fired up, you could see the glow in the horizon and then it was like the sun was coming up. What a sight. It flew just east of us and we were able to see it climb for a few minutes. Then the rumble of the engines came. What a sound. Unfortunately, this will be the last night launch. Day launches are nice but night ones are the best.
Saw it thru the clouds in Clearwater.
It must have been going directly away from us after it turned, we saw a glow for longer than I have ever seen, even with the clouds.
Talk about horsepower !!!!
I do not mean to take away from the Le Grand of the launch. I would like to ask a question regarding the weather patterns after a launch. Does anyone else believe there is a change in the weather after a launch? Before you launch a Hutch is crazy campaign let me explain. This first was brought to my attention by a resident meteorologist (fella I work with). So rather than be a nay sayer I began to track his claim. Damn if it was not true on many occasions. Call it coincidence but it happened more than not. Please jump in on this as my study continues and I need facts. Just the facts and nothing but the facts. HUTCH
My mother-in-law, God rest her soul, always said that bad weather came right after a space shot. We used to
But you never know.
By the way, Endeavor is coming home this afternoon around 1:20 P.M. Trajectory is south-west to north-east flying over Naples. You should hear the loud boom when it breaks the sound barrier overhead.

Here we go. They are predicting a major snow storm coming from the southwest up through Michigan. Starting about three PM on sunday and lasting through monday. Upwards of eight inches snow accumulation. I kid you not, check the national weather map. Your deceased mother-in-law was onto something. HUTCH

It is raining like h*** and we are under a tornado watch.
Space Shuttle will now land in California.
Maybe it is not such a coincidence.
