Jimmy Deguara’s post
Being the first post is not necessarily the most interesting. After all, the season has entered into November and thus far uneventful. In fact, it is so uneventful that I would rate this as the worst start to a storm season I can remember. But I am patient. I know that nature has its way [...]
