Re: (meteorobs) Re: Florida has improved
Very Very good news. I have been watching the weather reports and plan on
spending most of tonight as well as tomorrow night outside watching the
skies!
I have a nice dark spot right on the Lee County/Hendry County Border that is
far from lights and noise :) I hope the weather holds up for the show!!!
Clear Skies!
