Did a Cat 3 in the Bode Island Lighthouse once. Not without worry even though it had 5 foot thick stone walls. Storm lasted all night. Next day after the winds stopped howling I went up the stairs with another guy to get a view of the surroundings. There was a wooden door leading out to the catwalk. We thought we'd not go out there but just open the door and take a look from inside. When I turned the handle the door ripped out of the wall and sailed a quarter mile away. Lucky it didn't suck me out too. Holy crap!

Plenty of light rain here this morning. I got 25lbs of tomatoes so I am cooking them into marinara sauce today. Got nothing else to do.

Be safe all, especially those in the storm's path.
My youngest daughter is staying put in her apartment, southernmost I-75 exit in Collier, she says not ugly yet. Bigger concern is the bro and his wife, they are in Cape Coral, on the water, dock with big boat, they are going to stay there, I warned him, but he knows better-always goes, hope he has a lot of luck on reserve. 11 AM Advisory has winds at 155 mph, only FOUR-yeah I did my research, hurricanes have hit land in THE USA at 155 or higher. |

I hope all you Fla. residents stay safe.
If any of you evacuate and make it here, you have a place to stay, good food, great music, laughter, and......... an extremely handsome and brilliant host. |

My daughter in East Naples is without power and without internet, she can only send texts.
I have no updates on my bro in Cape Coral, I told him not to call me if he dies in the flooding,,, |

Wild. If there is a bright spot, at least the bulk of the storm will be hitting during daylight hours. |

Emergency response to natural disasters is hardly exclusive to Florida. You could see a similar response in any state in the union. I've seen it first hand. It's truly remarkable to see them in action.

Here in Oviedo, just north of UCF, we've had steady rain and some wind all morning. Winds are just beginning to pick up. I haven't heard or seen a bird in three days. Haven't heard a bug noise, and heard a single frog a little while ago. My Grandfather used to say the quieter the animals, the more you need to take it serious.
While it's slated to be a Tropical Storm when it passes here, we get hurricane force weather when it's heading here. Microsoft hurricane center now shows the eye due to pass a mile away from our house. None of our neighbors are from Florida. Of the 7 houses on the street, only one other seems to have anybody home. ith 30 more miles to the East Coast, I'm not sure where they think is safer. |
