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

Hi Eric,
Just to let you know.... we're tracking the course of Irma here too in the Netherlands. Wonderful this thread with so many responses... Plese let us know when possible what"s happening with you and Debby. We hear that the storm will make landfall about 24 hours from now. So many prayers for you.... humbling thought.
Hear from you soon..........

cirelaw · 09-09-2017, 05:56 PM

Thank You So Much. This is our national government site that is constantly updated~ http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/grap...443.shtml?cone Right now we are getting ocassional gusts. The worse are the tide surges 10ft! Before Andrew was our strongest hitting south of Miami in Homestead. This one is way larger. Its going to bankruct some insurance companys I bet! Update at 8pm

RShaw · 09-09-2017, 06:00 PM

Thank you!! Of course, you and your family and friends in the area, your home, (and Luger collection) take priority...
Love to hear from you when these are all OK first

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!

Eric

My prayers are for you your family and all the other Luger mates living in those areas.

Stay dry and break a leg!

cirelaw · 09-10-2017, 09:30 AM

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!

cirelaw · 09-10-2017, 10:18 AM

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!!

cirelaw · 09-10-2017, 10:18 PM

All is well and have electricity! We are leaving our storm shutter up until December!!!

sheepherder · 09-10-2017, 10:18 PM

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

cirelaw · 09-10-2017, 10:24 PM

Thank You, Thats why we are leaving the storm shutters up and leave the goodies packed tight!! What next? An Earthquake!! We need another hurricane like a third armpit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
