    Huge storm last night. My paradise looks like this

    Huge storm last night. My paradise looks like this

    I had a video that was way better but this site Doesn’t allow them I guess. It was almost as bad as the hurricane. The wind was crazy strong and when I was talking to not neighbors before the rain, I could barely open my eyes

    safe to swim

    I did a search for those words but didn't really find anything I can slap my husband with. We got algae bc he let the FC drop below 5. He says it's "not safe" to swim with FC above 5. I say BS. I want it at no less than 6. it's hot here. Now it's at 17. (finished the SLAM). Is there any...
