Eric,
Not to worry! I was just kidding.
Sadly our entire state is going to be impacted by Irma. Just so happens that this time the area between Fort Myers, Sarasota and Tampa are going to bear the brunt of it.
Last time we had any action here was in 2004 when Sarasota was bracketed by 4 hurricanes but never hit. But we survived that and we will survive this one.
Yesterday was spent reinforcing the boat moorings and securing everything outside the house.
Today, we're rigging the inside the house for hurricane action. Getting out the propane stove, making sure emergency equipment is in good working order, etc. And, getting our "go bags" ready in case we decide to bail out and go to a shelter or go bunk in with friends who live further from the shore line..
Good luck to all Floridians. We need it.
John
