My concern when it is raining in POS on the pavements as a 6'2" man, is these short ladies with their pointy umbrella edges that aim directly for my eyes.

Glasses saved me a few years ago from a stupid woman who came under the covered section of City Gate umbrella opened. From what I see on FB flash flooding in POS, where the gully suckers and did "no more flooding in POS" go out the window when Jack changed portfolios

remember the lines of latitude appear to 'dip' downwards (south) due to us looking at a 'flat' pic of the earth's roundness.
If the current movement is 'west' then chk the last coordinates of the system for a true idea of how the tracking progresses. But TC7 did veer slightly southward due to the high pressure influence from the north.

[nervewrecker]
