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 |

One suggestion, At Night with shutters walk around with a light of some sort. It gets really dark and you don't want to fall a break a leg!! You are on your own and that suggs!

I really love you folks. We picked up 'Little Marie' and 85 Italian Granny who lives alone, I got kicked out of our bed for the couch and they both slept soundly! Can't imagine allowing a grandma being alone during such hell!

Just an observation~ A know everything neighbor was braging that he spent 5k on hurricane proof windows instead of hurricane shutters! One flying object will dispel that myth!!

Eric, the Weather Channel is reporting another tropical storm - Jose - coming across the Atlantic right behind Irma.
