Business here is just getting destroyed. It's so slow in my store. I was talking to a guy who owns a rental company today with about 60 units. He said in the past 2 weeks he has had $40k worth of cancels, some of them cancelling for next February (our season start for all the snowbirds)

Happens every few years in the gulf, but this year is abnormally large. Usually in the summer. Florida has it really bad and I know Texas Parks and Wildlife has a page they track the status and give updates every year, same for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
Red tide - Wikipedia
Red tide is a common name for a worldwide phenomenon known as an algal bloom (large concentrations of aquatic microorganisms—protozoans or unicellular algae) when it is caused by species of dinoflagellates and other organisms.
The term red tide is most often used in the United States of America to refer to Karenia brevis blooms in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, also called the Florida red tide. In the past decade, it has been elucidated that K. brevis is only one of many different species of the Genus, Karenia, that is found in the world's oceans.
The last five years outbreaks. Comes and goes and not normally this large or this long lasting.

What app do you guys use for weather? I'm having a hard time finding something that isn't completely riddled with ads, useless information or clickbait. I mainly need to know rain percentages by hour since I ride a motorcycle to work most the time.

I use Accuweather, and I paid the like $2 to remove the ads. It's reasonably accurate, and I have a lot of rain samples to work with in south florida. Though mostly I just check the radar. I used WeatherUnderground for a while, but it was wildly inaccurate

My in-laws have a place in Orange Beach AL but they haven't called and mentioned it yet. My guess is that means no one is really that concerned about it there.
Wife and I are leaving for a short trip to Tahoe today and of course there's a fucking fire. Hoping they get it under control and we don't have to evacuate as soon as we get there.

Most of Europe doesn't have great AC so if you had to take a trip over there this summer you noticed the difference real fast. Another 95+ day for the east coast but at least the inch of rain on Friday should bring cooler temps.
