The center of the cone has moved from 75 miles east of me to about 50 miles west of me. Unless something weird happens (and it very well could) it will keep moving west perhaps to almost Tallahassee, about 125 miles west with much less punch to me. I am 15 miles east of Lake City Fl in Olustee.

I am currently in Meridian MS at my sisters. Makes for a nice visit but I am concerned

Landfall is generally the end of a hurricane. But since Cuba doesn't have the terrain that it takes to totally snuff-out Irma - there's a chance she will go into the Gulf of Mexico and rebuild..... for landfall again in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia.

Although it looks like Florida may be spared the serious parts of this hurricane.... it ain't over yet.

I'm no weather guy, but the direction that thing is spinning and going, the west coast may just get lucky.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE IRMA:
Twas the night before Irma and all through the house
Everyone was nervous, except for my spouse.
The shutters were hung ‘round the house all with care,
In hopes in the morning it still would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of spaghetti models danced in their heads.
And me in my night gown, and hubs in his cap,
Had just had some shots and a keg we did tap.
When outside the house there arose such a clatter,
We sprang from our chairs to see what was the matter.
Away to the window jumping over our clutter,
but we couldn’t see shit because of the shutters
With snacks in hand, and a go-bag all ready.
We retired to our room, hoping our roof did stay steady.
With a silent prayer said for all the residents of our state.
We will hunker down no choice now but to wait.

STAY SAFE!!!!

I'm home in Mary Esther right now. As its currently being forecast, I should be ok. Might have a little bit of rain.

I am the southernmost house in the United States for my particular longitude. I'm right on the water.

If anything hits, I'm the one that has to "take one for the team" for everyone to the north of me.

Well if this thing goes a little further west you may be in trouble where your at. Watch this one good for your location in the panhandle.
