I think he’s farther south- near Fort Lauderdale. But Anne (@Pastel Tortie) is right smack-dab in the middle of the projected path...[emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

ANNE: How are things with you??!?!
Thanks for asking! I've been thinking of you guys, but I didn't get a chance to check in until, well, now.

I spent all day packing up pets and supplies to evacuate. Fortunately, my relocation site (my parents' place) is only 15 minutes from where I live.

I finally got my herd of cats (x8), the turtles (1 box turtle and the 2 Micro Muds), and bearded dragon unloaded and indoors. Still have to unload more supplies this evening.

No
Not at all.
Its headed for the "panhandle" area.
Those folks aren't generally as used to them as we are and it might be very bad news.
Better prepared after the last couple years... Hermine... Irma... Michael... I'm getting tired of the yearly evacuation to my parents' place...

Stay safe! I hope there isn’t too much damage

Good morning from foggy Kent!

Visibility is gradually improving and the temperature is forecast to be very warm and sunny today across the whole country. :)


Today I have lunch with a friend and an evening governor meeting

Good morning all

First...our thoughts are with those who are in the path of that darn hurricane getting ready to surge its way into the Florida panhandle.... stay safe!

Second...did you all know that it’s “World Porridge” day today?

Third...it’s probably our last full day of Summertime temperatures here today.... forecast high of 83F....but rains move in tomorrow....and that will be it. The next 10 days.....not higher than mid-60’s. :-(. So. I’m heading out for a few hours of morning kayaking on the calm, warm Summer waters......truck is loaded, just enjoying some coffee...and i have plenty of time before sunrise at 0710.

Dreary and no power here... and this is just an isolated storm passing through:-( so much for my movie night[emoji21]
Oh No. But that is the best time to get out the torch and read a nice book or read one on your phone. I hope that by now it has come back on. And that all are okay.
